Strong Kids Campaign Program |

Your contribution to the YMCA's Invest in Youth campaign brings safe and fun YMCA programs to children and families throughout the north central Florida region. Every dollar collected goes directly toward providing children in our community with an opportunity to grow and learn in an environment that facilitates positive learning.
As a result of our past successes, the North Central Florida YMCA has been able to extend opportunities and increase access to YMCA programs in extraordinary ways. We started serving the community almost 40 years ago with a pool and small office building in Northwest Gainesville. Now we offer YMCA programs in 15 communities within the region and continue to grow every year. Every expansion shows our dedicated service to the needs of our community.
By combining the 2005 Invest in Youth Campaign contributions with our annual allocation from the United Way and various grants from private and government sources, the YMCA was able to distribute almost $675,000 to our scholarship recipients, allowing us to serve youth, families, and individuals who would otherwise not be able to afford to participate.
