The YMCA is the Charity of Choice for so many because every dollar, every penny of your
donation goes directly towards continuing the programs that have been proven to make a
difference in our community. For over 136 years, the YMCA has been instrumental in addressing
community needs.

Central Iowa’s future depends on the strength of our children. That’s why the YMCA provides programs that help build assets in youth. All YMCA programs strive to:
 
Demonstrate and teach positive values to children and adults
Prepare youth to become productive adults through life skills development
Support and strengthen families
 
Partner With Youth

At the YMCA, when we say, "for all," we really mean it. Due to the generosity of many local donors, the YMCA strives to never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay. Through Partner With Youth, individuals and businesses in the community partner with the YMCA to make sure every child can be a part of the YMCA.

Dollars raised are an investment in the future of thousands of lives in our area by providing scholarships to those in need. Last fiscal year the YMCA of Greater Des Moines awarded over 15,000 scholarships for a total value of over $1.5 million. In every sense, Partner With Youth is an investment for the future of central Iowa communities.

The 2008 goal for Partner With Youth Campaign is $1,110,000. Every penny of your contribution will help immerse a child in the YMCA's world of positive values and guidance.
