The YMCA of Southern Nevada is an organization dedicated to changing lives for the better. Our cause is not only meant to promote the lives of individuals but also to build a strong, healthy and stable community. They have developed multiple programs across the region to touch and inspire children, teens, adults, and seniors. The time, valuables and finances that people donate to the Las Vegas Y are used to support many causes. If you are wondering what exactly your donation does, here's how it helps.

The Impact of Your Contribution to the Las Vegas Y

Brings Families Together
Families are the cornerstone of any community. This is why the Y has put various initiatives in place to help families remain united, stable and healthy. The Las Vegas Y uses your contributions to organize family and community events, such as sporting events, games, pool parties, outdoor trips, fitness lessons, and workshops. We offer something for everyone, including toddlers, teens, adults, and seniors.

By participating in these events, families strengthen their bonds, improve their health, learn new skills, connect with neighbors, and build stronger communities. Your donations help less-fortunate families to attend these functions, gain something positive from these events and feel like a part of the community. Your assistance also helps Y to acquire, develop, and maintain all the facilities we use to hold these functions. 

Empowering the Youth
In this digital age, youths come across a plethora of challenges ranging from lack of job opportunities to substance abuse, family problems and mental health issues. If not addressed, young people can feel left out and unloved. The Y uses your contribution to keep the youth engaged through different types of events, programs and initiatives. Some of them include finding professionals to build youth leadership skills; enrolling talented individuals in sports academies; offering gymnastics, music and dance classes; and providing fitness and fun activities.

Supporting Cancer Survivors
Recovering from an illness is one of the biggest challenges that individuals and families face. A disease like cancer affects not only the body but also the mind and spirit. To regain full health, the individual needs ample support and care. The Las Vegas Y uses your donations to engage cancer survivors and help them feel part of the community. We ensure their participation in social events, engage them in health and fitness programs, help them reclaim their pre-illness fitness, provide a platform to share experiences, and help them to build healthy friendships. 

Promoting Physical Health
Health is one of the major areas that the Y focuses on. We understand that a healthy body translates to a happy life. The Y uses your financial assistance to provide a broad range of fitness programs to the community. Your contribution is used to pay for gym sessions for those who can’t afford it. Children are taught to swim and equipped with water safety skills. Your finances are also used to incorporate the less fortunate into communal events, such as hiking, cycling and swimming.
