and CEO, Doug McMillan
That’s why our Y does more than any other
nonprofit to fill a variety of pressing needs.
Our Mission requires us to do more. Our Long-range Plan
and volunteers like you challenge us to serve more.
For more than 150 years, our YMCA has transformed lives.
In 2014, we expanded our reach into new communities and
innovative collaborations. We hope you enjoy reading the
highlights of our YMCA’s accomplishments. Thanks to our Y
individuals are more empowered. Our community is more united,
and we’re all more inspired. That’s why we can’t wait to do more.
Developing Young Leaders
Thanks to our overnight camps, thousands of children made friends and
learned new skills from positive role models. In 2014, our overnight camps
also provided innovative programming to develop the next generation
of leaders.
Last May, Camp Kanata offered its first teen leadership weekend. Area
teens—most of them 11th graders—focused on collaboration, team
building and problem solving.
In October, Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer hosted the 2014 Sunfish
World and Youth World Championships. Seventy-two adults and 37 young
people competed. They represented 11 different countries. More than
100 volunteers made this premier event an incredible success.
Improving the Region’s Health
Our region is facing a health crisis. One in three children in North
Carolina is overweight or obese. Nearly 500,000 adults in our state have
pre-diabetes. North Carolina has the 14th highest obesity rate in the
nation. Here’s the good news—our YMCA is playing a key role in improving
the region’s health through collaborative, innovative efforts. And with the
help of community partners like WakeMed and the statewide alliance of
YMCAs, we’re more empowered to equip adults, families and children with
the tools they need to make healthy choices that lead to a lower risk of
chronic disease.
We’re harnessing that power to make a
measurable difference throughout the region.
In 2014, our YMCA made great strides in enhanced service to
existing communities and through unique collaborations to serve and
work with new constituencies.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA Joins the Triangle Y
A.E. Finley YMCA Celebrates 25 Years
In June 2014, the volunteer boards of the YMCA of the Triangle and the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA voted to merge.
In 2014, the A.E. Finley Y celebrated a quarter century of service to North
Raleigh. In 1989, the Finley Y paved the way for YMCA service to the
whole family. Women in the workplace created child care needs and the
growth of suburbs, including the Research Triangle Park, changed the
needs of families. The establishment of the Finley YMCA, and the Cary
Family YMCA a year later, were our response to those needs.
For 18 months, both YMCAs shared dreams of expanded service to the
Triangle. During that time, we worked side by side getting to know each
other and our communities. We participated in interactive group sessions
and one-on-one conversations with members and community leaders.
We learned from each other and we’re still learning. But today, we’re one
YMCA dedicated to doing even more through expanded programs and
enhanced facilities.
In December, the Finley Y reopened its newly renovated wellness area
and adult locker rooms. The new space provides a more engaging,
encouraging environment for our members. We are already planning
for the next 25 years and how we can adapt to serve new needs of
that community.
A Charter for Chatham
In July 2014, Y-USA granted a charter for the Chatham YMCA to become
a separate branch. The Chatham Y has a great history of serving children
and adults. As a separate branch, the Chatham Y can better focus on
the specific needs of its community with its own branch board and
annual campaign volunteers. Soon after, the Chatham Y launched its
first Y Learning site with 25 students.
Day of Service
In January, on our MLK Service Day, more than 400 YMCA of the Triangle
volunteers and staff gathered at locations around the Triangle and gave
more than 1,000 hours of service throughout the region.
Together they cleared trash, raked leaves, prepped community gardens,
sorted donated food and packed meals.
As our community continues to grow, people crave personal connections.
They’re searching for a place to belong. And, they’re finding that place
at the Y. While our region grows, we are even more determined to deliver
our Mission To put Christian principles into practice through programs
that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Supporting Cancer Survivors
Cancer survivors gain support from fellow survivors and Y staff through
the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program which operates in seven YMCA
branches. Since its launch, more than 350 cancer survivors have
participated in the 12-week health and wellness program.
2014 marked the second year of Anchoring the Family at Camp
Seafarer—a fully subsided family camp experience for LIVESTRONG
participants.
In 2014 YMCA of the Triangle
provided 54 Y Afterschool Tutorial
sites across seven counties.
Connecting Students
Did you know only 27% of children on free or reduced lunch pass their
end-of-grade reading test in Wake County? The YMCA of the Triangle
continues to bridge the education gap by connecting students who
struggle to reach school-system benchmarks with adult role models.
Students receive critical academic support in a caring environment.
Today, we operate 47 Y Learning sites across seven counties.
Y Learning students passed
their end-of-grade tests
at a higher percentage than
their peers who were not
particpants in the program.

EXECUTIVE
Every day at the Y, we work to make our community stronger. That work simply wouldn’t be possible without a strong financial
foundation. Our YMCA Mission and our financial commitments go hand in hand. We are dedicated to providing children, families
and individuals with the support and resources they need to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure.
