Annual Report 2024 - YMCA of Rome & Floyd County

Together We Are Stronger

Impact Report 2024

At the Rome YMCA, we believe in the strength of community - ordinary people coming to together to create extraordinary change. This work is needed now more than ever.

Children, families and adults rely on our support and the Rome YMCA is committed to being there for them. With your help, we are able to offer life-changing programs that strengthen individuals, children, families and our whole community!

But, we can't do it alone.

Your support means the world to us, and to those we serve.

Our Areas of Focus:

 

Youth Development

We help young people to grow into healthy, thriving adults by offering supportive education and leadership programs, team sports and camps.

Healthy Living

We support individual and community well–being. People of all ages, interests and skill levels can find the fitness classes, family activities and group interests they need to lead active, vibrant lives. The Y also collaborates with community leaders to bring healthy living within reach of all people.

Social Responsibility 

Through community programs, local outreach and community engagement, we provide support and inspire action in our communities.

It is with the support of our donors, partners, volunteers and staff, that we continues to seek new and expanded ways to serve our community. More than ever, we are committed to helping individuals start, continue or re-start their fitness and wellness journey at the Rome Y. 

We welcome you to join us by volunteering your time and talents and donating financial resources to sustain us. Together, we can be the difference!  

 

 

More Than A Place. A Purpose.

Working together, we can do so much more to build a stronger, healthier and more unified community. This year, with the generous help of many community partners, donors and volunteers, the Rome YMCA has sought to answer pressing needs in our community.
