NEW YORKERS HAVE HEART.

And to be a New Yorker takes guts, perseverance, fortitude, resilience, compassion,

ambition and a good sense of humor. New York City’s YMCA is in the heart of the

largest and most ethnically diverse population in the United States serving record

numbers of people of nearly every age and background.

Our YMCA brings strength to neighborhoods, critically important resources to people

and life to community. So much more than a collection of buildings or programs, our

people are in the heart of New York City’s YMCA .

Sal MagliettaChair, 2013-2016

The work of the YMCA in New York City is an exercise in capturing

the collective love and goodwill of our stakeholders – volunteers,

staff, funders – and converting it into life-changing experiences

for the children, adults and families whose lives we touch.

2014 was another year of superlatives as our organization

reached new levels of community impact. Consider:

• On the heels of opening our Coney Island YMCA, the NEW ROCKAWAY YMCA OPENED its doors and was instantly embraced by a grateful community.

• More than 550,000 NEW YORKERS ENROLLED IN YMCA PROGRAMS during 2014, an all-time high.

• Our Y ROADS CENTER, targeted to helping disconnected young people get their lives on track, completed its first year in JAMAICA, and we opened a second center in the SOUTH BRONX.

• We secured $44 MILLION IN CONTRIBUTIONS – a true acid test of a charity’s worth.

• Our signature youth programs, designed to foster ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT and HEALTHY LIVING, continued to grow and mature.

• Our third Culture Scan revealed an EXCEPTIONALLY POSITIVE STAFF CULTURE which continues to improve year after year.

• We committed to build a NEW YMCA IN THE SOUTH BRONX as part of the La Central project.

• We continued to hit HIGH STANDARDS IN FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, accountability and transparency.

• Our Board of Directors approved a new STRATEGIC PLAN which extends our YMCA’s commitments to our important work for the next several years – especially valuable during a time of CEO transition.

Beyond any program or service, the real work at the Y happens

when a staff member meets a kid or an adult and says – I believe

in you, I care about you and together we are going to reach your

goals. That could mean learning to swim, enrolling in college,

beating a drug addiction, speaking English, losing weight,

recovering from an illness or just finding a place to fit in. New

York City’s YMCA is a place where we hold the door open for

one another, where we celebrate and respect our differences

and where we believe in the potential of each and every person

in this great City.

As we begin our 163rd year of continuous service to New

York City we especially extend our gratitude to our friends and

supporters who have chosen the YMCA as their vehicle for

making change in the world.

CONNECTING TO THE FUTURE

Going somewhere in a hurry

In 2014 the Y’s focus turned to the Bronx — to increase our presence and

to expand the range of programs and services available in the borough.

FOR DISCONNECTED YOUTH, THE NEW Y ROADS CENTER IN THE BRONX OPENS A GATEWAY TO SUCCESS. Faced with the

challenge of finding employment during tough economic times, young

people ages 17 to 24, who are neither working nor in school, have an

especially difficult hill to climb. Following the success of the first Y Roads

Center in Jamaica, Queens, the new Y Roads Center in the Bronx helps

disconnected youth find their way from extraordinarily challenging life

situations to gain a foothold to success.

WE ARE NOT IMPROVING A TEST SCORE BY 1% — WE ARE MOVING A YOUNG PERSON FROM PERVASIVE POVERTY

TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN A YEAR.

“Our first objective is to stabilize the young person,” says Clare Dwyer, Y

Roads Center Director. “By stabilizing the many elements of their lives, we

give them the ability and opportunity to become successful adults. What

makes our program different is the unique integration of human services.”

“From a business standpoint, we are investing in New York City’s young

people and we are seeing dramatic, life-changing results,” says Lauren

Barr, Senior Executive, Youth & Community Engagement. “We are not

In the Heart ofKarla Galo

After battling depression and struggling academically in high school, Karla Galo found herself as a young mother with the ambition to help her family lead a better life, but without the support she needed to achieve her goals. Karla found the Y Roads Center in the Bronx where she met a caring team of professionals who immediately helped her find critical resources and then set her on an exciting path for the future.

“THEY ASKED IF I NEEDED DIAPERS

FOR MY SON, AND I AL MOST CRIED.

SOMEONE WAS TAKING AN INTEREST

IN ME. AND THEY WERE GOING TO HELP

ME FIND A JOB.”

Karla recently completed the first of many job interviews and has decided to pursue a degree in radiology. She’s working on college applications for next semester and is applying for financial aid and scholarships.

THE BRONX

BUILDING FOR THE NEXT CENTURY

A NEW YMCA GROWS IN THE SOUTH BRONX. At “The Hub,”

bordered by Bergen and Brook Avenues and East 149th Street, the new

South Bronx Y will serve as a key community component of a new complex

called La Central, encompassing 985 units of affordable housing with

40,000 square feet of retail space and a 160-space commercial garage.

Called “The Hub” because of the confluence of subway and bus lines,

nearby streets offer a vibrant shopping area for both “walk-to”

households as well as for 15-minutes-or-less “bus-to” households.

Between 1950 and 1980, mostly during the 1970s, the Bronx population

decreased by about 280,000 with most of that loss in the South Bronx.

But housing development throughout the South Bronx over the past 20

years has resulted in the Bronx having gained back most of the loss.

The YMCA site at The Hub is a walk-to distance for 17,000 households,

a bus-to distance for another 63,000 households, and a less-than-1-

minute walk from the Hub subway station. Two major and heavily used

subway lines – the “2” from Manhattan’s West Side and the “5” from

Manhattan’s East Side – stop at The Hub (149th Street and Third Avenue).

Ten bus lines converge within a 1-minute walk from the site.

The YMCA Community Center will be a centerpiece addition to a South

Bronx renaissance.

improving a test score by 1% — we are moving a kid from pervasive

poverty to self-sufficiency in a year. That’s dramatic, and it requires an

investment from the community.”

“The Bronx represents the latest extension of Y Roads. There are

250,000 young people defined as disconnected youth in New York

City and, unfortunately, they are a drain on the city in every borough,”

Barr continues. “They are unemployed and they depend on tax-funded

support programs. But they don’t want to, and they don’t have to. They

just need support, guidance and training to realize their potential. With

focused and informed investment we can really change the situation.”

R AISING EXPECTATIONS

A year of progress in Coney Island

DECEMBER 16, 2014 M ARKED THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF

THE CONEY ISL AND YMC A .

“The first reaction to the announcement of the Coney Island YMCA

was excitement,” said Samuel Moore, Executive Director. “The second

was disbelief. People here may have been skeptical because in years

past many organizations said they were going to do things for Coney

Island, then the talk petered out. The community had been seeking a

youth facility for a long time, but nothing happened. At some point Coney

Islanders said we will believe it when we see it.”

NO ONE PULLS PEOPLE TOGETHER LIKE THE Y — AND THAT’S WHEN YOU

SEE THE COMMUNIT Y CHANGE.

“In 2014 we’ve brought the community together to provide

opportunities for people to live healthier, connect with friends and

neighbors, and commit to positive change.”

“The Y doesn’t wait for something negative to happen. We move in

and say let’s do something positive.”

In the Heart ofNanyamka Scott

“MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT THE Y IS THE CLASSES,” said Nanyamka Scott. “Not only are they academic-based but there are also extracurricular activities like cooking and dance. I really love the balance the Y gives me on a daily basis.”

Nanyamka is part of the ROWE SCHOLARS PROGRAM which gives her educational and social support to help her exceed her academic goals and define her path as a young adult. “The Y helps me feel more independent.”

Thanks to her Y experiences, Nanyamka offers a bit of advice to others set on chasing their dreams. “Go for what you want,” she said. “If you want to be a cook or a teacher, put your effort into that. Whatever you want to be, there’s an opportunity out there for you. And the Y can help you reach it.”

“ WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE, THERE’S AN

OPPORTUNIT Y OUT THERE FOR YOU. AND THE Y C AN

HELP YOU REACH IT.”

BROOKLYN

PICTURING THE FUTURE

WORKING PARENTS HAVE A CHALLENGING LIFE-BALANCE SITUATION: the more they work, the better they can provide for their

families, but the less time they have to spend with their children. New

York City parents want quality afterschool programming to help their

kids flourish academically, grow socially and learn. YMCA Youth & Family

programming is designed to do just that.

Guidance during the afterschool interval is of critical importance, because

unsupervised kids show a much higher tendency to engage in unhealthy or

even criminal behavior during these vulnerable hours of every afternoon.

PARENTS GAIN ADDITIONAL EARNING POWER, AND KIDS GROW BOTH THEIR AC ADEMIC READINESS

AS WELL AS THEIR SENSE OF INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL .

THE YMCA STRENGTHENS FAMILIES IN MULTIPLE WAYS. By

enabling parents to work during the afterschool period, the family’s

earning potential and standard of living rise. By giving kids stimulating

opportunities, they learn more about their own individual potential as

well as social interaction among others within their community. And by

giving kids a safe and supervised place in which to exercise their bodies

and minds, parents gain a priceless peace of mind — knowing that their

children are under the watchful eyes of professional role models.

Thanks to the YMCA, the compromises of being a working parent are

dramatically reduced. Parents gain additional earning power with the

assurance that their children are in good hands, and kids grow their

academic readiness as well as their sense of individual potential and

social well-being.

IN THE HEART

OF FIGHTING ADDICTION

The dangerous path from prescription painkillers to heroin

ADDICTION IS KILLING NEW YORKERS. Recent years have seen

a dramatic transition of ordinary citizens shifting their addiction from

prescription painkillers to street heroin, and nowhere in New York City is

that trend more pronounced than on Staten Island.

Jacqueline Filis, Executive Director of the Staten Island YMCA Counseling

Service, had anticipated a heroin problem for several years because of the

soaring rates of painkiller addiction she and her colleagues had observed.

Prescription painkillers had been relatively easy to acquire on Staten

Island until a state initiative implemented more rigorous monitoring a

few years ago. The problem was the simple pricing economics of supply

and demand: stricter enforcement drove up the black-market price of

prescriptions painkillers at a time when the cost of street heroin was

coming down.

IN 2010, 6 PERCENT OF STATEN ISL AND PATIENTS ENTERED THE YMC A

PROGR A M ADDICTED TO HEROIN. IN 2014, THAT FIGURE ROSE TO 30

PERCENT. THE PROBLEM IS GROWING, AND THE YMC A IS ADDRESSING THIS

CRISIS WITH LIFE-SAVING PROGR A MS.

“Of all five boroughs, Staten Island has the highest mortality per capita

from drug addiction,” says Jackie Filis. “On Staten Island we have the

most prescriptions written per capita than any other borough. A lot

of middle- to middle-upper class blue-collar workers may start with a

prescribed painkiller. Later they try to feed the addiction for as long as

they can afford it.”

When one family member is enslaved by addiction, so is the whole family.

Because substance abuse undermines home life, the Staten Island YMCA

Counseling Service offers hope to individuals and families, including

children, whose lives have been turned upside down by addiction.

“We are losing one person every five days in Staten Island as a result

of addiction,” says Filis. “At the YMCA we’re stabilizing the addict, their

families and the whole community. These people need to get better, and

the people who support us enable us to achieve that for everyone’s sake.”

STATEN ISLAND

SAVING LIVES EVERY DAY

“THERE IS SUCH STIGMA AND SHAME AROUND ADDICTION

that you never know if anybody — even your best friend — can

understand that you love a family member who is also an addict. When

you come to this program, you realize maybe for the first time that you’re

not alone. Addiction is a disease that you try to conquer like any other,”

says Melissa Forsyth, program participant of the Staten Island YMCA

Counseling Service.

“Wives, husbands, children, parents — anybody can become an addict

and anybody can come here to learn what to do to help their loved

ones. I understand what they’re going through because my own son

is in recovery. What people need to know is that you should never put

your head in the sand or try to explain what’s happening. Not facing the

problem soon enough will increase the chance that your family member

could die from a bad dose or an overdose. What you need to do is to face

it immediately — and you can save lives.”

“ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED IS THAT I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG.”

”The Y program is open to the community and is here to support

those who don’t know where to turn. Many people are under the

impression that every addict needs a detox but that’s not always the

case, especially with opiates. In our program, people are in a protected

environment where everyone respects each other’s privacy.”

In the Heart ofMelissa Forsyth

“One of the things I learned from own family situation is that I didn’t do anything wrong. Many parents beat themselves up over what they imagine were their errors, but kids aren’t born with instruction manuals. Even if you raise them as best you can, your kids can still become susceptible to addiction.”

IN THE HEART

OF ON THE WATER’S EDGE

A community comes together in the Rockaways

”WE OPENED THE ROCKAWAY YMCA ON FEBRUARY 14, 2014,” said Rick Hopkins, its Executive Director. “In my 30-plus years with the Y,

I’ve never seen a community that was more welcoming and eager to have

a YMCA open. I mean the love for the Y before it even opened was just

unbelievable, beyond anyone’s expectations.”

“In an oceanfront community like ours, water safety needs to be a part

of every young person’s life. To address that, we have the largest aquatic

center in the entire YMCA of Greater New York system.”

“The number of people who have joined and participated in a program at

the Y has far exceeded our expectations. We are serving thousands of

individuals from both sides of the Rockaway Penninsula – day in and day out.”

“The YMCA is a great equalizer in the neighborhood and acts as a magnet

for the whole community. Our community is ethnically, financially and

religiously diverse, and the Y is one of the few places where everyone

comes together.”

“THE YMC A IS A GREAT EQUALIZER AND ACTS AS A M AGNET FOR

THE WHOLE COMMUNIT Y.”

“We are one of the economic drivers in the community because about

75% of the folks we’ve hired live right here in the area. Employment is a

big issue. Our Financial Assistance Program has allowed many people to

become members of the Y, giving them a place to go, to get new skills, and

to enjoy recreation while they get back on their feet.”

In the Heart ofYhiting Zheng

ORIGINALLY FROM CHINA, Yhiting Zheng is an eager participant in Flushing YMCA’s New Americans program.

“Because I’m new to New York, life can sometimes be difficult for me,” he said. “I don’t have friends. But at the YMCA I make a lot of friends. “

“I AM SO LUCKY THAT THE Y IS HERE, SO I HAVE

THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADJUST WELL.”

“It means so much to me that that the Y offers classes for New Americans,” he said. “Not only are we improving our English, but we are meeting new people who are facing similar struggles. And having new friends in New York City makes us feel good.”

Now Zheng and his new YMCA friends are involved in swimming and basketball. The Y offers them a place to gather, a place to learn, and many things to do and experience individually and together.

“I am so lucky that the Y is here,” he said, “so I have the opportunity to adjust well. Thank you, YMCA!”

QUEENS

OPENING DOORS

QUEENS IS THE MOST ETHNICALLY DIVERSE URBAN AREA IN THE WORLD. AMONG THE FIVE BOROUGHS, it has the

largest population of Chinese, Indian, Korean, Filipino, Bangladeshi

and Pakistani Americans. And Queens has the largest Asian American

population by county outside the Western United States.

Over 1 million residents in Queens are foreign born, arriving in New

York City to start a new life. YMCA branches and our New American

Welcome Centers are anchors in the community to provide new New

Yorkers a “safe haven” that provides English language instruction,

citizen classes, job training and connects them to resources that will

help them attain their goals.

NEW A MERIC ANS WELCOME CENTERS SERVE THE IMMIGR ANT POPUL ATION OF THE CIT Y TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE

LITER ACY, CULTUR AL COMPETENCE AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY.

NEW AMERICANS WELCOME CENTERS serve the immigrant

population of the City to help them achieve literacy, cultural competence

and self-sufficiency. The Y now has 6 thriving centers located in

Chinatown, Staten Island, Harlem, Prospect Park, Flushing and the Bronx.

The centers are also a gathering place which allow recent immigrants

to bond with others sharing the same experiences. Friendships are

made, communities constructed and goals are achieved in supportive

environments where differences are celebrated. In 2014, the New

Americans Welcome Centers were abuzz with numerous cultural

activities, classes and celebrations. The Y estimates that just one

year of operating the New Americans Welcome Centers equates to

approximately an additional $72 million in aggregate earnings for those

who chose to learn English with us. Since 1852, the Y has been helping

the newest New Yorkers find their place in this big City, and this great

work continues today.

New Yorkers are stepping up to stop the onset of chronic diseases

being especially at risk. Among the driving forces are the combination

of poor diets and a lack of outdoor space to pursue physical activity.

Children with nothing to do are more prone to overeating and

sedentary lifestyles.

With more than 1.3 million square feet of health and fitness facilities and

community space, the Y is at the center of the solution to getting kids

active and engaged.

Designed to combine gamification and physical activity, the Y’s

MODERATE TO VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM (Y-MVP) inspires kids ages 11 to 17 to regularly engage in fitness. The

program begins with an eight week class of fun physical fitness challenges.

The kids keep track of their weekly “missions” and “quests” by recording

their activities on electronic kiosks. As kids engage in more rigorous

exercise, they earn digital badges that acknowledge their achievements

and unlock tangible rewards, such as Y-MVP branded water bottles and

t-shirts. The program is presented much like an interactive video game

and creates friendly, goal-driven competition.

GET TING OFF THE COUCH

“My job is to get kids moving,” said Ciaseem Andrews, Y-MVP Coach and

Teen Advisor at the West Side YMCA.

In this day and age, it’s so easy for kids to stay sedentary on the sofa far

exceeding their recommended daily dose of screen time. But, it is also

really easy for them to fall in love with their time at the Y. What we find

is that once a kid joins one Y program, they’ll keep coming back for more.

And that’s good news for New York City. From basketball to our new

state-of-the-art Y-MVP Teen Fitness Challenge, the Y is helping get New

York City kids moving.

THE Y-MVP PROGR A M HELPS K IDS GAIN SELF- CONFIDENCE

AND PURPOSE.

In the Heart ofCiaseem Andrews

“The Y-MVP program helps kids gain self-confidence and purpose. Whether it’s getting the guts to try a spin class for the first time, or feeling secure around regular exercisers in our fitness centers, I’ve seen young people step out of their comfort zones and try something new as a result of Y-MVP. To me , that’s a real sign of positive change.”

Annual Campaign

The Annual Campaign is the chance to ensure that every New Yorker has access to all the benefits of Y facilities

and programs. Because no one is ever turned away due to inability to pay, the Annual Campaign helps us make up

the shortfall that happens when we offer the opportunity for participation to every single child and adult in all five

boroughs. The people named on the following pages have helped the YMCA of Greater New York improve the general

well-being of kids and families. Together with these donors we make real change — building a better New York by

encouraging people to strengthen their minds, bodies and spirits in socially responsible and community-focused ways.

Heritage Society

The Heritage Society is made up of our most visionary donors — those who support the YMCA of Greater New York

through a planned or immediate endowment gift. By including the Y in their estates, these donors have proven they

understand the urgency of our mission to effect change for the long run. The 1852 Fellowship recognizes generous

individuals, corporation, or foundations who have provided for the continuation of the YMCA movement in New

York, with a current gift of $1,000 or more to one of our endowment funds. These individuals, corporations and

foundations have made a generous commitment to New York City that will last forever.
