PAVE THE WAY FOR FUTURE GROWTH
The great strides made by the YMCA of Youngstown in 2014 ensure a strong foundation for future
growth and will lead to an enhanced Y experience for members and the community. The Y began offering
new services that support its healthy living initiative with the creation of both the LIVESTRONG at
the YMCA cancer survivor program and the Diabetes Prevention Program. Both programs have been
instrumental in bettering the health and quality of life of the participants.
Over the last couple of years, we’ve contemplated how the Y will continue to provide significant services
to the next generation of members. We are pleased to announce that we have begun in-depth planning
and fundraising efforts to renovate downtown Youngstown’s Central YMCA location and to build an
additional YMCA in western Mahoning County. These efforts will help us continue to meet the community
demand for Y services and provide a contemporary and fulfilling Y experience to members in the coming
years.
As we plan to repurpose the Central YMCA, we will be flipping the calendar and celebrating the 100 year
anniversary of this historic building in 2015 to provide an even better facility for the next 25-30 years
of service.
We have accomplished much over the past year and expect to serve the community at an even higher level
moving forward.

IMPACT SPOTLIGHT:
Going for the Gold
Jill Drajic brought her son, Kenny Martin, to the
YMCA 10 years ago. At an early age, Kenny was
diagnosed with autism and cerebral palsy and was
considered mentally challenged. It was important to
Jill that he learn how to swim. The Y’s scholarship
fund has been a blessing to Kenny’s family, enabling
him to pursue private swim lessons. Over the past
10 years, Kenny has gone from not being able to
swim at all to being able to swim doggy paddle and
float in the deep pool.
Kenny started taking swim lessons at the Davis
Family YMCA before transitioning to the downtown
location, where he continues to enjoy working on his
water skills. In addition to learning how to swim,
Kenny’s made many friends, built a lot of muscle
tone and has had a great Y experience overall.
Jill Drajic & Kenny Martin
Jill had nothing but good things to say about the
YMCA staff that have played a part in Kenny’s journey
over the past decade. “The staff is wonderful, for
me as well as Kenny. Having a child with a disability,
it is important to me that Kenny is accepted. When
we come to the Y, everyone is very kind to Kenny
and I find it to be genuine. There are just good
people down here.”
Moving forward, Kenny will keep taking swim lessons
at the Y and he might try basketball. Outside of the
Y, Jill has considered getting Kenny involved with the
Special Olympics swim team. However, Jill explains
“when Kenny gets to the pool, he likes to be in the
pool and he does not like to wait.” No matter what
sport Kenny tries in the future, his mom knows that
“because of the Y, we have a better quality of life.”

Shaping Futures Through Day Camp
Joselyn Parker
When Joselyn Parker heard
there was a job opening
at the Central YMCA, she
remembered how great she
felt coming to the Y to play
on sports leagues with new
friends and the sense of
unity the Y inspired. She
decided she wanted to be a
part of that. Now Joselyn is
the Youth and Teen Director
for the Central YMCA.
Central Y Youth &
Teen Director
One of the programs Joselyn
leads is Day Camp, also called Nuha, a Swahili word
that means intellectual mind and educated. Each
day, day campers study reading, math, and science,
have swim lessons and tend a community garden.
There’s a field trip every Friday that aims to expose
the kids to something new. Day Camp activities help
the kids fight summer learning loss, a common issue
among school-age children.
Central Y Day Camp Counselors
Day Camp also exposes kids to diversity and
encourages them to accept others who may be
different than them. “The one thing that we try to
put on our kids and put in them with Nuha is that
we all take care of each other and we’re all family. It
doesn’t matter what you look like, what race or size
you are, it doesn’t matter here,” explains Joselyn.
Joselyn sees Day Camp and encouragement from
counselors having a long-lasting impact on the
campers. “When somebody tells you that you can
do it, and reiterates that you’re smart, intelligent
and bright, and they give you the opportunity to do
better, you’ll do better. That’s what I want to do for
these young people; I want to see the graduation
rate change because of the YMCA and because of
programs like this.”
Positive Y experiences also encouraged Allie
Baklarz to become a Day Camp Counselor. A day
camper since the program started, Allie became a
Counselor Apprentice at 13 and a Counselor at 18.
Through her involvement with Day Camp activities
at the Y, she realized that she really liked working
with the younger kids and discovered her passion
for teaching. “I would have never known that if it
wasn’t for Y Day Camp. It’s what inspired me and it
still inspires me today,” Allie shared.

New Directions
Robert Lawrence first heard about Camp Fitch from
his middle school principal. A few years later, he
went to Camp for two weeks on a scholarship and
the experience changed his life. “It was the most
amazing two weeks of my life. It was a turning point
because I was going through a really dark time and I
didn’t really know what direction I was going in, but
that experience brought the light to me, in a way.”
Since his initial experience, Robert has become an
outdoor education instructor at Camp and also
acts on the program staff hosting school groups
and weekend events. He loves working with kids
and working at Camp has given him a vision for his
future. “Getting involved with Camp at such a young
age has been a great opportunity for me because it
really set the path for me. I definitely think this is
my career; I want to be a camping professional and I
want to work with kids in the Y organization.”
Robert Lawrence
Outdoor Education Instructor at Camp Fitch Y
Robert and his family are thrilled that he has found
direction in his life. He plans to go to college and get
a degree; he is currently looking at a school in Wales
that offers an outdoor education program. He knows
none of this would have been possible without the
Camp scholarship fund. “I’d just like to say thanks

IMPACT SPOTLIGHT:
Diabetes Prevention Program
You may not know that across the country, over 33% of people
have pre-diabetes. At home in Mahoning County, the prediabetes rate is almost 40%. Facing a rate higher than the
national average, the YMCA stepped up in 2014 to help combat
the prevalence of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes with a new
wellness program.
The YMCA’S Diabetes Prevention Program helps individuals
reduce their risk for diabetes. “It’s a year-long program that
teaches people about healthier eating, physical activity, and
making lifestyle modifications so they can really enjoy life and
improve their health. The participants meet in a small group led
by a trained lifestyle coach and they go through evidence-based
information from the CDC, and they really get good tools to
better their lives,” explains Michelle Edison, Wellness Program
Coordinator.

The goal of the program is for each person to lose about 7%
body weight and to increase physical activity to 150 minutes per
week. The CDC found through research that these factors have
a significant impact on reducing disease risk. Michelle has seen
the program inspire other positive changes in addition to physical
changes. “I’ve seen participants really change in other areas of
their life. Their families are making comments about how the
person’s eating habits have changed, how they have more energy
and how they’re interacting differently. So the effects of the
program are translating into other areas.”

IMPACT SPOTLIGHT:
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA
The YMCA of Youngstown was one of 10 YMCAs in the country to
receive a 2014 LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Implementation Grant from
Y-USA in partnership with the LIVESTRONG Foundation. “This is a
program for cancer survivors, whether they’re newly diagnosed or
they have been in remission for years. It’s a fitness class that helps
improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance, flexibility, and
balance. The class also provides an emotional support network,”
says Loretta Pflug, LIVESTRONG coach.
Mike Puskar was one of the first program participants when it came
online in 2014. “Two years ago in May I came down with esophageal
cancer so I went through chemo, radiation, and major surgery, after
which blood clots developed. I had to go on disability from a job that
I loved, and that really hurt. I was looking for something to lift me
out of the dark place I was in and this was really the start of it. I felt
so much better after I completed the program that I joined the Y so I
could continue working out and getting stronger,” said Mike.
“Physically I feel a lot
better and mentally I
feel really good. It’s
impacted my family to
the point where they all
say ‘you’ve come back.’
And it all started with
this LIVESTRONG at the
YMCA program.”

Mary Beth Partika was another pilot participant, and the
program impacted both her and her family. “When you start
moving, you think more positively, feel better spiritually, and
can do more physically. The impact on my family was wonderful
too. My family would always encourage me, and now we all
plan to join the Y this summer,” Mary Beth said.
Other program participants have seen similar results as well,
and the Y plans to continue the program in the future. “There
are really no other programs like this. You hear people say ‘if
I didn’t have this program, I’d be sitting on the couch watching
TV or sitting in my own sorrow.’ Being here is positive and
it really helps cancer survivors become stronger people,”
explains Loretta.

Highlighting Former Board Members
The YMCA of Youngstown and its Board of Trustees would like to bid a fond farewell to two former board
members, the late Tom Cleary and Dr. Dean Economus, and give appreciation for the time and talent they
dedicated to the YMCA.
Thomas
Cleary
“Tom Cleary was on the YMCA Board for many years,
and he chaired the board in the late ‘80s and early
‘90s. He not only gave of his time and talent; he
was very inspirational in the operation of the Y for
years. He not only contributed to the Y; he was
also a community leader since the late ‘70s. He had
a lot of friends across the whole community and
was a great contributor to the Y’s success and the
Youngstown community in general. He will be sadly
missed. ”
Thomas Fleming, Chairman, Board of Trustees
“Tom Cleary really embodied the Y and believed in
our mission. He understood what the Y could bring
to the community and that the YMCA could truly
make a difference in people’s lives. Tom was a topnotch contributor to the legacy of our YMCA. We
would not be as strong as we are today without Tom
Cleary.”
Timothy M. Hilk, Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Dean
Economus
“It has been a great honor to be asked to serve on the
Y Board. Four generations of the Economus family
have participated in Y programs: my grandfather
obtained his law degree from what was then the Y
College, my father was a long-time HFD member and
now my children learned how to swim and continue
to use the fitness facilities. For nearly 100 years the
Y has been a part of our life and I look forward to a
time when I am able to serve the Y again.”
Dr. Dean Economus
“I met Dean Economus when I came to town and he
told me his family story and why he volunteered at
the Y. Dean volunteers because the Y has done so
much for his family. As a board member, Dean gave
graciously of his time and talent, and even though
he’s a very busy man, he’s brought us rich resources.”

would shop downtown. He knows he was four years
old the first time he went to Camp Fitch. He grew up
there, going to Family Camp with his parents. When
his own son turned just one year old, J.D. told his wife
it was time for them to start going to Family Camp,
thus continuing the Mirto legacy at Camp Fitch.
Over the years, J.D. has been a driving force in shaping

2014 DONORS
“As the Chairman of the YMCA Annual Campaign for 2014, I have been inspired by the generosity and compassion of our donors. Their
support has given less fortunate families who have genuine need the chance to enjoy the benefits of YMCA membership. Through their
experiences at the Y, these families have the opportunity to grow spiritually and physically, thereby enriching their lives. I am pleased to
report that our goal for the 2014 Annual Campaign was exceeded as we received more than $615,000 in donations.” – Thomas Gacse
