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.

THIS MONTH AT A GLANCE
Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season, whether you're celebrating Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or ringing in the New Year. May it be filled with happiness, health, and safety.

As December arrives in Utah, we know families in our Afterschool, Childcare, and Teen Programs are balancing busy schedules, colder days, and holiday excitement. At the YMCA of Northern Utah, we encourage parents to pause for small moments of connection, asking your child about a new skill they learned in Afterschool, sharing a cozy story after Childcare, or checking in with your teen about their goals and challenges. Winter is a time when routines shift, but your child’s need for support, consistency, and encouragement remains. Our Y is here to partner with you, offering safe spaces, caring staff, and programs that help young people grow in confidence and character. Thank you for trusting us with your incredible kids, together, we’re building a strong and supportive community this season. Rhonda Clark
