YMCA of the Triangle

We are blown away by the generosity of our community. ❤️ Yesterday, thanks to our friends, neighbors, volunteers, staff and members, the YMCA of the Triangle was able to raise almost $682,000 in a single day from 1,369 individual gifts 🤯. All these funds will help us offer support, programming and memberships to more people in our region than ever before. THANK YOU! #forabetterus #annualcampaign2024 #dayofgiving #trianglenonprofits #yforall #YMCA #yallmeansall #NCYMCA

When the YMCA of the Triangle community comes together, the result is truly amazing. On Friday, more than 100 Y staff and volunteers came together to load and unload four 26-foot box trucks absolutely filled with hurricane relief supplies collected from our 19 branches. Thanks to the coordination from the North Carolina Alliance of YMCAs, Inc., those trucks begin heading west today and will support our sister Ys in Western North Carolina and their distribution efforts in impacted communities. #ymca #ymcacommunity #hurricanerelief #ncnonprofit

Volunteers needed tomorrow! We're so humbled by the amazing response to our call for donations to support our neighbors in the Western part of the state who've been impacted by Hurricane Helene. In many branches, we're overwhelmed by the volume of donations. Now we need your help loading the donations for delivery on Friday, Oct 11. We're looking for volunteers to sign up for shifts - so visit the link below and consider signing up at your nearest YMCA branch to make sure these goods get to those who need it most. #HurricanHelene #YMCA #ForaBetterUs #HurricaneRelief #WesternNC https://lnkd.in/edfwMCzi

I’m excited to share that we officially broke ground on our new YMCA Youth Center last week! This marks an incredible milestone for our Y, as we continue our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing space for kids and teens to learn, grow and thrive. A huge thank you to the donors, community leaders, elected officials and Y supporters who have propelled this project — your dedication and belief in the future of our youth have made this possible. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this center will have on children, teens and families for years to come! -- https://lnkd.in/e7CUn-Je

As we continue to see images and learn more about the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, it’s evident that our friends in the western part of our state and the entire region need our support. We are collecting much-needed supplies at our Y branches. Take a look at the list below and bring your donations to the lobby of your Y by Thursday, October 10. We will coordinate delivery with other YMCAs and agencies. Thank you for supporting your neighbors! #YMCA #BeCauseY #ForaBetterUs #HurricaneHelene #NorthCarolina #WesternNorthCarolina #CarolinaStrong #HurricaneRelief

As we head back to school, we're reflecting on an amazing summer at the Kraft Family YMCA, made possible by the generosity of the SearStone/Lutheran Services Carolinas Community Benefit Committee. Thanks to their $25,000 grant, our Camp Excel program provided a safe, fun and educational experience for children whose grandparents are their primary caregivers. We're so grateful for their continued support! #CommunityImpact #BackToSchool #CampExcel #KraftFamilyY #weallbelong #supportingeducation #strengtheningfamilies

The YMCA of the Triangle is excited to announce that our very own Kim Keith, VP of Youth Development, has been selected as a 2024-2025 White-Riley-Peterson (WRP) Policy Fellow! The WRP Policy Fellowship is run by the Riley Institute at Furman University and equips participants with a real-world understanding of the art, science, possibilities, and realities of policy-making around afterschool and expanded learning. For the next 10 months, Kim will be learning how to improve afterschool programs and opportunities in the state of North Carolina. We can’t wait to see what wonderful things these fellows do across the country!

Earlier this week, we had the privilege of being a sponsor of the 2024 Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Conference, held by the Raleigh Chamber. We also had a great group of team members from our Y attend the day's events and sessions. We learned so much about how we can be a more inclusive organization and continue to grow in supporting our community. #DEIConf24 #ForABetterUs
