ymca scholarships benefit both mom and kids

United Way funded scholarships at the YMCA give Jan* peace of mind while she works and attends classes to get her degree, because she knows her kids are receiving quality child care while learning and developing in a safe environment.

The Big Brother/Big Sister Program at the YMCA provided her three children with the positive adult role models they needed after an abusive divorce.

Jan’s* oldest son has thrived the most. He was struggling in school, but through his mentor tutoring him at home and making friends at the YMCA basketball program, his performance and social skills at school have greatly improved.

* Not her real name.
