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 .

“IN E VERY COMMUNIT Y THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE

Marianne Williamson
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.

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.

“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

“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

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

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-1minute 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

was disbelief. People here may have been skeptical because in years
past many organizations said they were going to do things for Coney

York City parents want quality afterschool programming to help their

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

well as social interaction among others within their community. And by
giving kids a safe and supervised place in which to exercise their bodies

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.

ADDICTION
OF
STATEN ISLAND
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.

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.”

“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 L E A RNED IS
TH AT I DIDN ’ T DO A NY THING 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.”

can, your kids can still become

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

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

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

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.

new as a result of Y-MVP. To me ,
that’s a real sign of positive change.”

“THE THEME OF NEW YORK LIFE’S INTEGRATED
BRAND CAMPAIGN IS ‘KEEP GOOD GOING.’ IT
HIGHLIGHTS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT EACH OF
US CAN DO TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR
COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS IN OUR FAMILIES
AND IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES. MY WORK WITH

THIS CAMPAIGN.”

“THE REASON WHY THE Y IS SO AMAZING IS
BECAUSE LIKE THE STARS THAT I CAN’T SEE
BUT ARE THERE, IT IS THE Y THAT HELPED ME
GET CLOSER TO THEM SO THAT I MAY REACH MY
GOALS. THOSE STARS ARE WHAT CARRIED ALL
MY HOPES AND DREAMS TO BECOME SOMEONE
GREAT IN MY COMMUNITY.”

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.
