VOLUNTEER
Give of your time to help cultivate a community in which
we all help one another. There are various types of
volunteer opportunities:
 Welcome Center Check-in
 Youth Sports Coaches and Referees
 Special Events and Projects
 Annual Campaign
 Committees
 Popcorn Chef
 Maintenance Week
 Soup Kitchen
GIVE
The Annual Open Arms Campaign allows the Y to provide programs that
help address critical community needs like childhood obesity, chronic
disease management and negative youth behavior. It is also the generosity
of our supporters that allows the Y to provide financial assistance so that
they can experience our programs and services. Johnny may need to learn
to swim and can’t afford it so the Y is able to offer financial assistance to
make the class affordable. The Johnsons may need a place to keep their
family active and together. Financial assistance means that
everyone pays a share - the assistance that is given is based
on household income.

Welcome Center to find out more.
STRENGTHEN OUR
COMMUNITY AS YOU
STRENGTHEN YOURSELF
The YMCA of the Blue Water Area is making a huge difference in
our community. Throughout the community, people know the Y. What they don’t know is
that the Y not only strengthens our bodies, it strengthens our community. As our
community faces new challenges each day, there is a greater need for us to continue the
work we do every day, and make a difference.
We plan to touch many more lives in more meaningful ways than ever before. We invite
you to be a part of it. There are two ways - Give and Volunteer.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT
ENSURING A BRIGHTER FUTURE
With so many demands on today's families, parents need all the support they can get. That's why child care at the Y is about
more than looking after kids. It's about nurturing their development, by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills,
develop healthy, trusting relationships and building self-reliance through the Y core values of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility.
The Y’s Child Development programs are designed to improve educational achievement and build character of the Blue Water
Area's children, so that they can pursue the brightest possible future. They're staffed with people who understand the
cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel a sense of belonging and supported in
trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other.
For more information, contact Amy Meldrum, Child Care Program Director at ext. 115 or [email protected].
EARLY CHILDHOOD - We Take Care of the Little Things
The Y offers quality full-day and partial-day child care for infants through preschoolers, enabling parents and family members to go to
work knowing their children are in safe, stimulating environments. We believe learning takes place as children touch, manipulate,
and experiment with things and interact with people daily. Children’s play is an essential component of our curriculum,
through their play and experiences, themes are developed that guide our daily activities and interactions.
At the Y, we utilize Creative Curriculum which has six core content areas: literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, arts,
and technology. We use the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) Curriculum, because reaching children at a
young age improves chances of embracing healthy messages and behaviors for a lifetime. Little ones are motivated to walk,
run, jump, dance and move their whole bodies while playing and having fun.
INFANT CARE
Children will be nurtured by loving, dedicated teachers. Each child is engaged in appropriate social and emotional
interactions, and will be cared for at their individual level.
Monday - Friday
Age:
6:30 AM - 6:00 PM

ENHANCE YOUR LIFE
YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program
Can you measure a healthy life? Sure, you can - by the cup, the ounce and the block.
If you’re at risk for type 2 diabetes, you can make small, measurable, changes that can
reduce your risk and help you live a happier, healthier life.
CHANGE IS TOUGH - WE CAN HELP
Let’s face it, if change were easy, we’d all do it. You’ve spent years developing habits that you can’t expect to change
overnight. It’s tough. We can help.
The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program gives you the skills you need and the support you deserve to
make lasting healthy lifestyle changes.
GROUP SUPPORT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED
Everyone needs a push, a pat on the back, a helping hand sometimes. A little encouragement goes a long way
when you’re making big changes. In the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program you’ll spend a year surrounded by
a group of supportive people with common goals who care about your well-being.
As a participant, you’ll enjoy:
 A safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing and learning in private.
 Making new friends. You will support each other as you all trade old habits for healthier new ones.
 Working as a group. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
 The new energy and confidence that comes with losing weight and reducing your risk for diabetes.
IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH, BOOST YOUR ENERGY
To help reduce your risk for diabetes, your goal in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is to reduce your body
weight by 7% and increase your physical activity at least 150 minutes per week within the first half of the program.
For example, if you weigh 200 pounds your goal for the first half of the program would be to lose 14 pounds and
increase your physical activity to what could be a brisk 30-minute walk five days per week.
Lose weight, boost your energy, reduce your risk for diabetes and improve your health for life!
If you are at risk for developing diabetes, the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program can help. To find
out if you qualify, or for more information, contact Jenny McElwain, Healthy Living Specialist at (810) 9876400, ext. 117 or [email protected].
