The YMCA of Lincoln is launching its annual campaign, Strong Kids, to ensure that everyone in Lincoln has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Every day, the Lincoln YMCA works to support the people and neighborhoods that need it most by addressing community issues such as school readiness, youth life skills development, and wellness education. Last year, charitable gifts from YMCA donors made it possible for over 1,500 of our community’s youth to develop confidence and leadership skills in YCMA Youth Sports, 347 developed life-long friendships at Camp Kitaki and countless others were given a safe place to learn and achieve in our afterschool programs-many of which are completely subsided by donations.
The Lincoln Y has long been a leader in wellness, youth and family programming. In 2012, through its annual Strong Kids Community Support Campaign, the Lincoln YMCA provided over $1,000,000 in financial assistance and services to children, families and individuals in our community.
