Activity 2

Healthy living: improving the nation's, or more specifically greater green bay's health and well being means building a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The ymca is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. Ymca healthy living programs are medically based and stress the value of prevention through balanced efforts of good exercise habits and overall health including proper nutrition, stress management and health education. This is important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are family oriented and offered at affordable fees, with financial assistance for those that are unable to pay the full fees; in 2012, we provided $960,229 in financial assistance to people seeking healthy actions and who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. The ymca provides a variety of programs that assist our community with attaining healthier habits and includes fitness classes, family camps, cpr and first aid, lifeguard training, livestrong at the y, aquatic exercise, sports and swim lessons, indoor cycling and senior social groups. The nature of these programs is to promote one's own self worth by emphasizing skill acquisition & development, safety, cooperation and self confidence, leadership & teamwork. The depth and breadth of ymca programs also serve all ages: infants, pre-school, youth, adult, family and active older adults; all programs promote the desirable state of leading a healthy lifestyle through practice and education.

Activity 3

Social responsibility: or giving back and providing support to our neighbors means the ymca has been listening and responding to the green bay community's most critical social needs for 142 years. Our programs, such as swim smart (water safety for children), family nights, y club and 21c are examples of programs that help strengthen our community and empower individuals to change and overcome obstacles. We sponsor a healthy kids day event held at shopko hall. This signature event gave our community an opportunity to learn more about how to stay active, eat healthy, and engage in fun activities to help keep their kids and families healthy. It is rewarding to see the ymca help the greater green bay area in this pursuit and to reinforce how we build strong kids, strong families, strong communities, every day. The event was free to the participants and 3,300 children and adults participated in this community event. There were free give aways and a drawing for bicycles for those who registered. The activities included: zumba demonstration and participation, tae kwon do demonstration, bike rodeo with the first 500 kids receiving free helmets, fitness video gaming, radio disney singing, dancing, games and prizes, health screening from area hospitals and clinics, large inflatable's, rock climbing wall, presidential fitness testing, soccer and basketball skills with uwgb phoenix players, family run/walk, wild ones plantings, arts and crafts, make-your-own healthy snacks, face painting, bull frogs pitching, first tee golf, ymca dance demo and participation, green bay jugglers entertaining and demonstrating, y-guy and other area mascots, fire truck and ambulance exploration, climbing wall, and 4h, boy scouts and various informational booths.
