Our construction for the new Monroe County Northwest YMCA, on the border of Ellettsville and Bloomington, is in full swing and we are gearing up to open late 2013. The Y has raised $8.6M towards our $10.2M fundraising goal. This is a great achievement and we are thankful and appreciative of all of our donors and supporters who have gotten us this far, but we still have many needs to fill before we can open the doors to the new Y.

 

 

 

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES PLAYSCAPE

The Y is for Youth Development.The Y makes sure that every child has an opportunity to envision and pursue a positive future, and to take an active role in strengthening community.The Center for Children and Families at the new Y will be the starting point to prepare children for lifelong learning, as well as becoming and staying active while developing lifelong healthy habits.The Center for Children and Families will hold120 children with room to expand.

In order to foster the most conducive and productive learning environment, we need the funds to incorporate a nature-based playscape outside The Center for Children and Families with three categories for infant, toddler, and preschool-aged children.

 

Research reveals a strong link between children's experiences of nature and their psychological well-being and overall development. In this age of widespread technology use, computers, television, and video games often replace time spent playing outdoors. It is imperative that parents, educators, and other professionals encourage outdoor play and find ways to reconnect children with nature.
