Ocean Community YMCA
2013 Annual Report
CVO & CEO Report
This is your Y and we are growing stronger together. The Ocean Community YMCA is a cause-driven
and mission-focused organization committed to nurturing the potential of every child, promoting
healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Our cause is to strengthen our
communities by working side by side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity
to learn, grow, and thrive. Our mission is to put core values of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Together we are a powerful association of men, women and children of all ages and from all walks
of life who share a passion to strengthen the foundations of community. In 2013, this shared
commitment expanded even deeper into our region. Membership grew at our branches and our
reach extended into neighborhoods through collaborations with schools and other organizations to
address some of our most pressing social challenges. The impact of our deeper reach is visible when
our young adults make smarter life choices, our seniors maintain their strength and independence
longer and when our neighbors give back by volunteering or mentoring.
This is your Y. We provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere for you and your loved ones to learn,
grow and achieve their goals. We are here to support your health and wellness objectives as well as
provide opportunities for arts enrichment. Our summer camps provide summer fun and skill building
activities as well as support youth leadership and character development.
This Y is also your neighbor’s Y. We will never turn anyone away from participating in our programs
due to their inability to pay. This promise is deeply aligned with our mission and made possible
through the generosity and caring spirit of our donors. Together we are delivering lasting personal
and social change.

FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
Children are our future and a community’s greatest
resource. We are working at our branches as well
as in neighborhoods to address critical issues
impacting their ability to reach their potential
such as literacy, childhood obesity prevention
and water safety. The Healthy Living and Youth
Development programs at the Mystic branch are
in the communities of Groton, Norwich and New
London through collaborations with area nonprofits and schools. Y Reads Literacy program is
a collaboration with Norwich Public Schools to
address low literacy rates in elementary schools. In
its second year, the program has had remarkable
success increasing the aptitude of every child who
has participated. Likewise, the Y has partnered
with New London Public Schools to provide the
wellness and physical activity component of afterschool enrichment programs and is a key partner
with four other area non-profits in launching the
Student Wellness and Activity Team (SWAT).
OUR DAY CAMPS
All children deserve the opportunity to discover
who they are and what they can achieve. Our two
day camps provide the experiences for children to
do just that. Campers explore the great outdoors
through activities that range from archery to
sailing to zip-lining to arts and crafts. A strong
focus on responsibility, independence and caring
for others is woven in to all elements of their
camp experience. Our doors are open to all and
we are proud of our strong record of providing
camperships to all families who qualify.
Mystic Day Camp
• 275 children attended Mystic Summer Day
Camp in 2013 with 28% receiving YCares
Financial Assistance.
Camp Watchaug
• 637 children attended Camp Watchaug
in 2013 with 27% receiving YCares Financial
Assistance.
FOR HEALTHY LIVING
Improving the nation’s health and well-being.
Arcadia Branch
In 2013, we collaborated with the Richmond Senior
Center to provide wellness classes to local seniors
and implemented our Neighborhood Pool summer
swim lessons in Chariho with 27% of participants
receiving financial assistance.
We hosted events such as Healthy Kids Day, Family
Nights, Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree and Celebrate with
Santa to enable families to engage in activities together
at little or no cost. Our Friday night Teen Nights provide
supervised activities led by quality role models.
Additionally, the Arcadia branch is the host location
for Boy Scout and Girl Scout meetings, community
collaborations with the R.I. Blood Center, Chariho
Youth Soccer Association, Chariho Rotary Club,
Weight Watchers and flu clinics.
Our Schools Out after school care program
served 73 young students in Charlestown, Hope
Valley and Richmond Elementary Schools in 2013.
Children in Schools Out build knowledge through
meaningful play, active exploration and thoughtfully
planned activities. The program provides children
in Kindergarten through 6th grade with a safe
and supervised environment for play and learning.
Parents know their children are safe and are
experiencing a deeply enriched day care experience.
Westerly-Pawcatuck Branch

in our progressive swim programs, introduced new
series for youth and teens such as; Youth Wellness

added over 40 new Wellness classes and programs
focusing on all 3 of our areas of impact and all age
groups including knitting, drama, SNAG (Starting
New at Golf), water polo, ballet, Piyo strength and
healthy eating & nutrition classes.

We also added new classes
and programs focusing
on all 3 areas of impact
and all age groups
including Cross
Conditioning, Fitness
Medley, beginner

high school volleyball
league, and basketball
skills clinics.
FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
At the Y, no child, family or adult is ever turned away due to their inability to pay. Together we inspire
a spirit of service personified by a volunteer corps over 190 strong. Our Reach Out To Youth campaign
continues to grow providing financial assistance to meet the growing demand. In 2013, 12% of our members
and program participants received some level of financial assistance. Giving back is a powerful force and has
come to be synonymous with the Ocean Community YMCA.
Star Awards
The second annual Leadership
Recognition Breakfast on August 28th at
the Ocean House in Watch Hill honored
this year’s Star Award honorees. The
event paid tribute to outstanding
community leaders who personify the
Y’s key values; the Crandall Family for
Healthy Living, Robert E. Liguori for
Youth Development and Charles and
Deborah Royce for Social Responsibility.
Volunteer Spotlight • Mel Jolly, Y Volunteer
If you’ve been to the Westerly branch, there’s a good chance you’ve met Mel
Jolly. Now retired and a resident of Weekapaug, Mel seeks out ways to “give
back” to the community and his energy to do so has no limit. Mel grew up in
Indiana, had a distinguished 20 year career in the Air Force and then moved to
Detroit where he taught Air Force Junior ROTC within Detroit Public Schools.
Mel now serves on the branch’s board of managers and on the program and
membership committee where he is a strong advocate of extending scholarship
and campership opportunities to at risk young adults and families. He puts his
philosophy into practice as a strong fundraiser for Reach Out To Youth and
was a donor to the recent campaign to renovate the Westerly branch. While his
guidance in governance roles has been significant, his greatest influence is in the one-on-one relationships
he has built as the coach of two youth basketball leagues. He is committed to his players and a patient and
encouraging coach. Also, every Sunday, Mel serves as a volunteer ambassador helping members and visitors
get the most out of their Y experience. In giving back, Mel sets the bar high. His life-long commitment to
youth development as a serviceman, mentor, coach and volunteer has inspired hundreds.
