The YMCA depends upon its community, so we make it a habit to give back. Last year, we awarded $1,921,269 in Financial Assistance to Y families thanks to our generous donors & sponsors. For Giving Tuesday, we challenged our participants to raise funds for even more kids; this month, we're challenging you. The holidays are just around the corner, and we know that holiday meals, gifts, and travel add up. However, we also know that more than ever kids need community, friendships, and place to learn, grow, and thrive every single day. Will you help us make that happen, with just a small $1-10 donation? Every single penny donated to the YMCA of Northern Utah goes straight to our scholarship fund and ensures that every one has equitable access to a quality program in a safe space.

We are thrilled to share some exciting updates with our YMCA family! Please join us in congratulating Ashley Ballew on her promotion to Director of Summer Day Camp. Her passion and dedication to youth programs make her the perfect fit for this role, and we can’t wait to see the amazing experiences she will bring to life. Additionally, we are delighted to welcome Grace Fisher to our Weber Y team as the new Youth Development Director, beginning December 1st. Grace brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in afterschool and childcare programming, and we are confident she will make a positive impact on our community. Thank you for being part of our YMCA family as we continue to grow and strengthen our programs for your children.
