Annual Report 2024: Impacting Today, Empowering Tomorrow
2024 was a monumental year for YGBW. We are proud of the way our team worked together to set and achieve ambitious goals. Across all areas of operations, we increased access to services and programs that impact our community today – and lay the foundation for success in 2025 and beyond.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Children of all ages require a safe and caring environment where they can learn, grow and thrive. To support youth in our community we launched a Rapid Response Team supporting childcare centers across Chester County. We also launched Y Achievers, a workforce development program for teens – empowering our community for years to come.
HEALTHY LIVING
All in our community deserve the chance to lead a fulfilling life. To reduce barriers to health and wellness, we expanded LIVESTRONG at the Y, a free 12-week program designed to help adult cancer survivors regain strength and confidence. We also deployed our Fit Truk to deliver health and wellness to communities throughout the county. We are committed to investing in the health of our community.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In 2024, we awarded more than $2.6 Million in direct financial assistance to ensure that all have access to our programs and services. We are proud of this accomplishment and will continue to grow our Financial Assistance Program – as there is more to be done.
As we look ahead to 2025, we look to deepen partnerships across Chester County to increase access to vital services that build strong, healthy and thriving communities.
