PUTTING MISSION IN MOTION YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago 2013 Annual Report STRONGER TOGETHER The mission of the YMCA of Metro Chicago is to develop strong children, families and communities across Metropolitan Chicago through academic readiness, character development, violence prevention, fitness and healthy living. MISSION IN MOTION In 2013, the YMCA of Metro Chicago changed our mission to reflect the far-reaching impact of our programs and services in building stronger and healthier communities. We envisioned more vibrant and compassionate neighborhoods where the Y is seen as an essential leader in making our city a world-class place to live and raise a family. Sage YMCA leaders and donors pitched the first shovels of soil for the groundbreaking of the new expansion. Pictured from left to right are: Brian Goode, president of Rita Corporation; Aaron Shepley, mayor of Crystal Lake; Richard Malone, president and CEO of YMCA of Metro Chicago; Sage benefactors Pat and Vince Foglia with son Vinnie; Robyn Ostrem, executive director of Sage YMCA; Lisa Waggoner, Sage YMCA benefactor and steering committee member; and Mary Beaubien, Sage YMCA benefactor. To achieve this, we adopted a bold Strategic Plan that positioned our 23 centers, five camps and hundreds of extension sites to meet the changing needs of the more than 200,000 members we serve every year. We also reshaped the focus of our programs and services and established a Learning & Evaluation department to advance four key mission anchors: academic readiness, character development, violence prevention and fitness and healthy living. In this report, we share stories of our mission in motion and introduce you to just a few individuals whose lives you helped transform: • Ellie, who is living with spina bifida, gains independence at summer camp • Adrienne, a former member turned staff, reaches her goals through Y MaxTraining and becomes a Y personal trainer and fitness consultant to motivate others • Anderson, a participant in the Youth Safety and Violence Prevention’s art-mentoring program, learns how to resolve conflict peacefully with art Your partnership makes all this and so much more possible. We hope you enjoy reading about the difference your support is making in the lives of children, individuals and families in the community. When you join the Y, you become part of something big. Thank you for making 2013 an amazing year. Richard H. Malone President and CEO Peter B. McNitt Chairman of the Board Mission in Motion • And, more and more Chicago Public School students are learning the lifesaving skill of swimming through new Y programs Since 2010, YMCA Camp Independence has provided children like Ellie Fontanetta the opportunity to gain confidence and develop friendships to last a lifetime. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT Character development focuses on developing youth’s interpersonal skills, such as forming positive relationships, and developing healthy self-concept. “Character” refers to soft skills, which involve executive functioning like self-regulation, goal setting, organization, grit and perseverance, as well as social skills like leading and collaborating, navigating a variety of social spaces and enlisting support from others. Positive character development is a strong predictor of and foundation for a child’s future success in school and life. PUSHING THE LIMITS Camp Independence participants (above) come together to share experiences and inspire one another to reach for more. RS YMCA camp experience helps children with spina bifida grow and gain independence. It’s July, the height of summer in upstate Illinois, and 10-year-old Ellie Fontanetta and her mom, Nikki, turn down the long drive with their windows down, soaking up the familiar air and buzzing with excitement for another unforgettable week at Camp Independence, one of many weeks dedicated to medical camps at YMCA Camp Duncan. Ellie has spina bifida, a condition requiring crutches, leg braces and a daily regimen of medications and bathroom routines. Spina bifida occurs when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all of the way. At Camp Independence, a state-of-the-art facility built expressly for kids with spina bifida, Ellie experiences confidence building activities, such as kayaking and swimming, and as she does so forges unbreakable friendships with children who experience life in ways similar to her. Created by Chicago neurosurgeon David McClone, MD, to teach independent living skills to young people with spina This team understands that for children with spina bifida, summer camp is about more than just the activities offered or the quality of the facilities. It is about the promise of helping campers grow and gain independence in a safe and fun environment. Many of these campers have never spent a single night away from their parents, let alone a week. Boating, adaptive cycling and sports, and zip-lining are offered each year. Character Development bifida, Camp Independence is staffed with a medical health care team and highly skilled counselors and employees. “At Camp Independence, each of our campers has their The best part about Camp Independence is that it gives own counselor,” Dr. McClone says. “This is how we can kids like Ellie the full YMCA camp experience, from guarantee that they’re safe in this environment.” All flag-raising in the morning to s’mores around the counselors are certified in first-aid, CPR and basic water campfire at night. safety and receive extensive onsite training in camper care and supervision. For Ellie’s first two summers, her counselor was Jess from Australia. “Jess was the perfect fit for Ellie,” says Nikki. “She needed someone who was like a coach, the “They get an opportunity to camp just like other kids, while still being well taken care of,” says Nikki. “Ellie loves every minute of it.” right mix of compassion and challenge. ‘Can you push a little farther?

E NUMBERS 18 different YMCA specialty camps for children with physical or mental disabilities are offered at Camp Duncan. 2. 1. 3. Adrienne Parsons, personal trainer and fitness consultant at the Fry Family YMCA, found her calling and herself through a transformative experience at the Y. FITNESS AND HEALTHY LIVING Fitness and healthy living is an integrated concept of wellness that ties regular physical activity and nutritious eating to a strong mind and body. A healthy lifestyle can help people gain selfconfidence and reduce depression, reach or maintain a healthy weight, improve sleep quality, build bone density, strengthen the immune system and stave off chronic disease and early death. GUIDING CHANGE Y MaxTraining inspires Adrienne to help others transform their lives. After decades of trying every diet in the book, Adrienne Parsons was still desperately overweight. Her second child, Samuel, came four weeks early because of preeclampsia, which was triggered by high blood pressure and poor nutrition. While recovering in the hospital with her child in the neonatal intensive care unit, Adrienne made a vow, “If I caused this, then I have to fix it.” Adrienne took action and joined the Fry Family YMCA, which was her first gym membership. She was surprised when Audrey Jones, health and wellness director at the Fry Family YMCA, recommended Y MaxTraining. “I thought personal training was something only wealthy people could afford.” Y MaxTraining was developed 10 years ago by Max Savar, a veteran personal trainer and member retention specialist at the Y. He wanted to create a holistic personal training system. “We focus exclusively on measurable results that match the member’s personal goals,” he says. Adrienne and her husband, Jon, lost a collective The Parsons family pictured before they exercised healthy living at the Fry Family YMCA (above) and after (left). Healthy Living 115 pounds through Y MaxTraining. “I love to help people and show them that if I did it, they can, too.” After Audrey explained the benefits of Y MaxTraining, Adrienne knew it offered the motivation and consistency she needed. She and Jon met with a trainer every Wednesday for a year, which became their "date night" at the Y. Adrienne would also workout with A year later, Adrienne and her “It’s so rewarding,” Adrienne says. her Y MaxTraining notebook every husband lost a collective 115 “I love to help people and show other morning, which outlined a pounds.

Adrienne was so impressed Y MaxTraining was developed at the Fry Family YMCA, piloted at the Kroehler Family and Indian Boundary YMCAs and is being rolled out across the YMCA of Metro Chicago Association in 2014. with the compassion of her “Audrey was amazing,” says Adrienne. “If we were having a bad week, she’d say, ‘It’s all right. The important thing is to focus on the end game and keep going.’” personal trainer and the sense of community at the Y, she decided to become a Y MaxTraining instructor and work alongside Audrey, the woman who inspired her to transform her life.

ACADEMIC READINESS Academic readiness focuses on a learning mindset and the resources for ultimately succeeding from early childhood through adulthood. Academic readiness isn’t just about improving students’ grades. It means preparing them with the skills, attitudes and resources necessary to lead and succeed in the next step of education in their lives, from kindergarten through college and career.

MOVEMENT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LANGUAGE COGNITION Academic Readiness 100 YMCA of Metro Chicago serves over 10,000 children every day. Fry Family YMCA instructor Deepa Naatran introduces her preschool class to the Spanish language (above). “With a resource like Learning & Evaluation, the Y can confidently say, ‘Here’s what science is telling us works for children and families, and here’s how we’re implementing those practices across the organization,’” says Bela Moté, senior vice president of Learning & Evaluation. Assesments were developed based on proven research models to measure where our youth stand before and after participating in Y programs. Many more assessment initiatives are rolling out in 2014. Back in ballet class, the ballerinas are learning letters and numbers while balancing on their toes.

We've made it a priority to continuously improve through focus, rigor and For the Y, it’s not enough to promise that we’re making transparency," says Richard Malone, president and CEO, a difference. We need to measure our impact. YMCA of Metro Chicago. Learning & Evaluation has partnered with social science researchers at the University of Chicago to track the effects of Y after-school programming on school attendance and academic performance. 500+ of the 2,651 Y Community Schools children received swim lessons in 2013. EXPANDING HORIZONS New Community Schools Initiative programs bring swimming to more children. Thanks to a partnership between the YMCA of Metro Chicago and Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the Y was able to give swim lessons to more than 500 students across 10 community school sites during the summer of 2013. A majority of these students were first-time or novice swimmers. The lessons are part of the YMCA's Community Schools Initiative, a school improvement strategy run by Y staff at 15 CPS schools. “Our mission is to expand the horizons of the kids we work with and offer them opportunities they may not get during the course of the normal school day,” says Eric Werge, executive director of the Community Schools Initiative. Christopher Elementary on the South Side is the only When YMCA of Metro Chicago President and CEO “I’m so proud of my staff,” says Christine, whose young instructors jumped at the chance to teach at Christopher Elementary, even with the hour-long commute. “That speaks to the kind of people that we hire and train. They realized that they were lucky enough to have exposure to aquatics when they were kids and wanted to pass that on.” Community Schools, he asked the kids what kind of special experience they wanted from the Y. He was excited to hear their answer—swimming. Because swimming is not only valuable for safety and fitness, but also a great way to learn perseverance and goal setting, YMCA leadership and CPS worked together to find a way to start bringing Community Schools students to Y membership centers for swim lessons. of bringing students to the Y, the Y decided to bring its swim instructors to Christopher to serve students from Christopher and Nightingale schools. Eric found willing volunteers at his own High Ridge Y with the help of Aquatics Director Christine Aguirre. Academic Readiness Richard Malone visited two of the first YMCA Community School with its own pool. Last year, instead The Y's core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility are integrated into every swim lesson. With first-time swimmers, it’s all about patience and now swim the length of the pool using multiple strokes. games. For kids afraid to get their face wet, instructors They’ve also developed a sense of mutual respect for may drop plastic fish to the bottom of the pool and one another. pretend it is a big aquarium. As confidence grows, kids practice “sleeping” on their backs or “scuba diving” for rings on the bottom. All the while, new swimmers acquire important safety tips and the fundamentals of real swim strokes. "I learned lots of things during the summer,” says fourth-grader Adamari, “But going to the bottom of the deep end was the most fun." “It’s intimidating to dive in a pool for the first time, but they all encourage each other,” Amanda says. It’s one thing for your teacher to say, ‘You can do it!’ But when all of your classmates and peers are cheering you on, it’s even better.” The summer swim program was such a success that the Y continued to offer after-school swim lessons at Christopher Elementary during the 2013-14 school year. Amanda Alvarez, aquatics lead at the West Communities Y, proudly reports that all 20 kids who participated, some of whom have special needs, can YMCA Aquatics instructors (left) teach Christopher Elementary students the important life skill of learning how to swim. Youth Safety and Violence Prevention participants learn how to resolve conflicts and heal wounds through peace circles. VIOLENCE PREVENTION Preventing youth violence is an important part of promoting the health and safety of youth and communities. Chronic exposure to violence can place youth at risk of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep disturbance, somatization and becoming violent. The Y aims to stop violence before it starts or, in some cases, interrupt it early in the cycle to prevent the effects from spreading. We are moving towards this vision by working to reduce adverse childhood experiences, building community protective factors and strengthening human resiliency. FOSTERING PEACE THROUGH ART YSVP helps at-risk youth navigate through challenges. At age 15, Anderson was on the brink of becoming Eddie Bocanegra, co-executive director of YSVP, says another statistic. He witnessed his first homicide when that it’s easy to label youth like Anderson as “thugs.” he was 6 years old, soon after his father left, and When Eddie looks at Anderson, though, he doesn’t see his brothers served time for gang-related violence. a “bad kid.” He sees an open wound. Rival gangs targeted him, and Anderson’s school was threatening to expel him. That’s when the Y stepped in. Outreach workers with the YMCA of Metro Chicago’s Youth Safety and Violence Prevention (YSVP) initiative knew Anderson from the streets of Little Village. They were aware of his problems, but they could also see his potential. Ultimately, they convinced the school principal to give him another chance. “If someone was bleeding, you would rush to help them,” Eddie says. “But there are wounds that go unnoticed—psychological and emotional wounds. A lot of these kids are silently suffering, and all we do is write them off as a ‘lost cause.’” Violence Prevention Last summer, 15 youth expressed themselves by creating a floor-to-ceiling mural in the YSVP program space. Volunteers from University of Chicago, Northeastern University and Adler School of Professional Psychology worked side-by-side with the youth as mentors. The mural lives on as a testament to the power of creating peace through mentorship and community collaboration.
