In an effort to combat the rising obesity rates, our ymca participates in the activate america initiative and engages in a variety of events and community activities such as our activate brookville - a passport to fitness which served over 2,000 community members as well as our biggest loser competition which helped over 100 people. These activities are designed to help the "at risk population" develop habits and relationships that lead to more active lifestyles. Human services: our ymca works in collaboration with local governmental and community agencies to provide a variety of programs that help accomplish our mission to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. In these programs, we focus on and work to enhance the strengths of the individual rather that focusing on the detriments in their lives. Our programs touch many areas including developing self-esteem and self-reliance, enhancing skills, and building healthy relationships with peers and with members of the community at large. These programs help to enhance an ethic of service within the participants.”
