Children programs:our learning centers provide nurturing and educational environments for hundreds of children each year. We serve infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and school-age children. Our classrooms are places where children develop early literacy and math skills, and learn to respect the earth and each other. Our commitment to end racism and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people is reflected throughout our curriculum, special events and classrooms. We are committed to reducing the stress of working parents who rely on us for affordable and quality child care programs. We have a grant for 16 children to be in mixed age classrooms for children 9 months old to 3 years old. This group of children stay with the same teachers until they are ready to enter our pre k counts programs. Covid-19 had york city school district doing virtual classroom for all of 2020-2021 school year. We were able to offer all day child care for york city school district children. We set up an area where the children could come each day and participate in their virtual classroom studies. This was a new environment and learning experience for the children as well as our staff. Staff worked closing with the children to help them contact to their classrooms and helped keep them focused. Parents were able to continue working because they knew their children were safe and being assisted with virtual education. Due to the extra time needed to assist the children we changed our ratio from 1 staff to 12 children to 1 staff per 6 children to offer the assistance they children needed. We were happy to be able to have our summer school age camp return to our property, camp cann-edi-on, which is located off the strinestown 83 exit. Camp explorers, for the 4 - 6 year olds, was also able to attend camp cann-edi-on on a weekly basis. All of the children were glad to be outside again and able to hike, swim, kayak and other outdoor activities. In the spring of 2021 we were awarded a contract with york suburban school district to have before and after school age child care at two locations, yorkshire and valley view. We will also be opening up full day pre-school program at both york suburban schools for ages 3 - 5. This new program will start for school year 2021-2022. We also have before and after school programs in the northeastern school district at conewago and spring forge and in york city at lincoln charter school. Youth programs:our youth programs (temple guard drill team and quantum opportunities program) focus on the strengths of young people and challenge them to expect and create great things in their lives. As such, youth have the opportunity to explore new worlds, discover their full potential, and develop toward healthy adulthood. The temple guard drill team is a mentoring program based on discipline and focus that trains youth in grades k-12 in military-style boot camp marching and dance. Drill team members perform approximately twice a month across the mid-state region. Covid-19 also kept the temple guard drill team from being able to perform at community events with so many events either canceled or they were held virtual.The quantum opportunities program (qop) is an after-school program for youth in grades 9-12 that focuses on education, community service, and life-skills development. Program participants fulfill daily requirements and earn incentive escrow payments to help fund continuing education and the expenses associated with higher education. The 2020-2021 school year was a challenge for many of our qop students. With school moving to virtual education, it was hard for some to stay focused and find space for them to attend classes where they would have access to reliable internet and technical assistance. The youth programs director made sure there was space available at YWCA york for them to log in to be able to do their required school work. The team still had weekly meetings and practice sessions to keep the youth engaged and connected. We had twelve qop seniors graduating this year and they all were accepted and started their college careers in the fall of 2021. We have received support to be able to expand the qop program from 50 students to 75 students for the school year 2021-2022 and to add another 25 students for the school year 2022-2023 to bring the program up to 100 students in total.Fiscal year 2020-2021 accomplishments - children & youth programs*145 children in state funded pre k counts between the ages of 3 - 5.*90 children in the school age before and after care programs*112 youth attended summer camp at camp cann-edi-on*68 children attended creative explorers summer camp full of swimming and various steam activities*27 children enrolled in the early learning programs that are for children 6 weeks of age to 3 years old.*38 youth participated in temple guard*100% of qop seniors graduated and were accepted into a post-secondary education program

Health & fitness programs:our yoga and aquatics departments aim to improve the quality of life for people of all ages through physical fitness and health education. Programs aim to prevent health problems in adults and develop healthy habits in youth. Our programs strengthen bodies and build self-esteem and confidence. Young people learn the value of teamwork and the importance of safety while developing skills that will last a lifetime. The synchro team had 17 swimmers that started meeting again in October of 2020 due to covid-19. Normally they attend meets along the east coast but this year they practiced and were able to compete in a few virtual synchro meets. We have continued to grow our mindfulness trainings. We have found since the pandemic more organizations are looking for ways to help their staff cope with the effects of the pandemic and to learn ways to take care of themselves. We also offered several virtual, free yoga classes all through the year. The y-tri sprint triathlon is normally held the last Sunday in June, but we moved the date to August 2020 hoping we would be able to host an in person event, but covid-19 prevented that from happening and we had to cancel the event for the second year in a row. We reopened the pool in August for aquatic classes and started back with swim lessons in September 2020. Fiscal year 2020-2021 accomplishments: * 500 people participated in swim lessons * 55 aquatics members * the y-tri sprint triathlon was cancelled due the covid-19 pandemic. * The york synchro team had 17 members this past year ranging in age from 2nd to 12th grade.
