2007 YMCA Annual Report

As our neighborhoods and communities grow, so does the YMCA of Greater Houston, leading and collaborating with partners to empower, support and inspire people to reach their fullest potential. We believe that an individual’s growth is never-ending, that the YMCA is an integral part of that development and that people can grow in so many different ways. The YMCA experienced record increases last year. Our budget surpassed the $100 million mark, allowing us to serve more children, families and communities than ever before. We opened two new YMCA centers, the West Orem and Thelma Ley Anderson Family YMCAs, both long-held dreams that, thanks to generous donors, tireless volunteers and dedicated staff, finally became reality. We now have 38 YMCAs, three camps and 17 Apartment Outreach locations, yet we plan to serve the Greater Houston area even more deeply in the future.We’re growing in ways that not only make the YMCA bigger, but better. Membership for All (MFA) has changed the face of our YMCA. Since offering MFA, which allows people to pay membership fees that are based on their total household income, our single-parent membership has grown by 40 percent. Hispanic membership grew from nine to 19 percent of the people we serve. Nearly 30 percent of our members qualify for the MFA program.

The growing diversity of our membership strengthens us, while reinforcing our commitment to building healthy spirit, mind and body for all.Our Partners Campaign—which helps us ensure that everyone, regardless of economic circumstance, has access to the YMCA’s programs—also grew in 2007, raising $5.3 million, the largest amount in our history. Your donations help the YMCA meet our mission, and we are thankful that the communities we serve and advocate for trust us to be good stewards of their resources.While we celebrate past growth, we also focus on future development with our strategic plan, Vision 2020: Realizing the Possibilities. While helping to form communities that support the success of all children, the YMCA is helping every child develop positive values, a commitment to service and motivation to learn.As the community grows, the YMCA continues to anticipate and meet area needs. There is no limit to what we can achieve... together. The possibilities are endless. Imagine all the ways we will grow. Won’t you join us on our next adventure?

“I can’t do it,” complains 15-year old Scout Blaszczak. “I can’t get him to move.”

Mr. Al the horse refused to take another step, but Scout’s instructors in the Conroe Family YMCA’s Leap of Faith program weren’t going to take, “I can’t” for an answer.

“Look at the confidence they’re helping her build,” says Scout’s dad Jim. “Here, you don’t get to say, ‘I can’t.’”

Scout used to think there were a lot of things she couldn’t do. When she was born, she suffered a stroke and developed cerebral palsy.

In 2006, Scout’s parents enrolled her in the Y’s Leap of Faith equine assisted riding therapy program, which helps children with disabilities build their balance and muscle strength, determination and self-esteem.

In addition to teaching kids to ride, Illona, Scout’s mom says, “They help her develop a positive attitude, set goals and hold her to them. These are the kind of things children need to grow up and be confident adults.”

Funded in part by the YMCA’s Partners Campaign, Leap of Faith started at the YMCA in 2005 with just 17 participants. Now, with 6� children, the program recently expanded to include aquatic therapy.

All children need a supportive environment framed by boundaries and expectations in order to flourish and grow. Leap of Faith offers that and more.

“I feel confident when I accomplish something,” Scout proclaims. “I feel proud.”

Sweat breaks out on Scout’s brow as she struggles one last time to get Mr. Al to move. He begrudgingly complies. Everyone cheers. Scout smiles.

“Now it’s, ‘I can do this,’” said Scout’s dad. “That’s what she says to herself.”

“The government would not let us practice our religion,” explained Soad Almoudheji.

It was dangerous for her family to publicly embrace their beliefs in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The Almoudheji’s are Shia. Under Hussein, the Sunni-led government murdered tens of thousands of their people. Hussein’s soldiers threatened Soad’s husband for refusing to give up Shia traditions.

“They wanted him to sign documents saying he would stop, or they would kill him,”

Soad said.

The family fled Iraq in 1994. As refugees living in squalor in Beirut, they petitioned the United Nations for asylum. Six long years later, the

Almoudheji’s were resettled in Houston

where YMCA International Services staff members gave them a new hope.

“The YMCA saved our lives, gave us a new life,” said Soad.

Since 1978, YMCA International Services has resettled 17,500 refugees from nearly 41 countries, providing cultural orientation, housing, job training, English classes and more.

“One of the reasons Soad’s family has been so successful is that they took advantage of all of our programs,” said Shawn Webb, YMCA International Services Educational Services Director.

The YMCA helped enroll Soad’s children, Ali and Aliya, in school. The Y found her husband, Jamal, a job and helped Soad earn an associate’s degree from Houston Community College. Seven years later, a scholarship from International Services is allowing Soad to pursue a bachelor’s degree in medical technology from the University of Houston.

“The YMCA is our first family in the United States,” said Jamal Almoudheji.

And like families should, the YMCA provided a supportive, caring, empowering environment for the Almoudheji family, who, as Muslims, could easily be viewed by some as “different” for their beliefs.

“It’s not about religion. They don’t look at that,” said Aliya Almoudheji.

“They don’t look at your face. The YMCA looks at who you are on the inside.”

“I used to be shy, but now, I want to help other children and I want to be a psychiatrist one day,” said 17 year-old Justin Jackson, a YMCA Camp Cullen counselor.

“My first time as a camper, I was so homesick,” he reminisced about his experience almost ten years ago. “He called and wanted us to pick him up,” said Jennifer Pickering, Justin’s long-time mentor.

“Later, he was too busy to even come to the phone,” she said.

Jennifer and Dan Pickering relocated to Houston in 1999 and became board members at the M.D. Anderson Family YMCA. During their involvement as volunteers, they met Justin. He was an only child without a father figure in his life. “We became his expanded family and he definitely has become part of ours,” said Pickering.

Justin faced some obstacles during his youth and was separated from his mom for two years. The Pickerings welcomed Justin into their home, where he lived until he was reunited with his mother.

While he lived with his mentors, Justin went to the YMCA every afternoon to play basketball. The Y’s welcoming environment helped him open up as he engaged with others. “He was very quiet at first and afraid of new experiences,” said Pickering.

The Pickerings continued to support Justin and sent him to camp every year. Last year, he became a camp counselor, comforting other children who were away from home for the first time. YMCA Camp Cullen Director Nicki Saunders has witnessed how Justin’s involvement at the Y has brought out once-hidden talents.

“Justin stands out as a tremendous leader. He has a gift for working with children,” Saunders stated.

Justin believes that the camp staff has impacted him by instilling positive values and a motivation to learn, while developing his interpersonal skills; which is why he chooses to give back to the Y.

“I hope that I have the opportunity to make an impact in the life of a child,” he said.

“We’re very proud of the young man he has become. Supporting him has been such a rewarding experience,” Pickering said.

“I didn’t know I had it in me, that I could be a leader,” said Amanda Mancias, an Adventure Guides volunteer at the Cossaboom Family YMCA. “I can help while still being with my kids,” she said. Mancias and her two sons Jeremy, eight, and Joshua, six, have been members at the Y for four years.

For more than 80 years, the YMCA Adventure Guides program has helped parents and their children stay connected and build a closer bond. Typical Adventure Guides activities include games, crafts, songs, stories, skits, camping, hiking and swimming. In Houston, the program is popular among families of suburban YMCAs, while for most inner-city Ys, participation is more of a challenge.

“Some of our families include low-income, single, working parents with more than one job or who work on the weekends, making it difficult for them to discover Adventure Guides,” said Cossaboom Family YMCA Executive Director Lori Rumfield.

However, Amanda Mancias’ outgoing personality and care for others turned the situation around; she personally recruited several families to join the Cossaboom Adventure Guides group. Participation soared from eight to 72 people.

The Adventure Guides experience provided families an opportunity to engage in new activities and create special memories together. “It was great because it was the first time for some of us to do something like this,” she said. “Many of us are single parents and it helps to have more experiences like this with our children.”

“I had never gone camping before,” said Joshua about his Adventure Guides experience.

“It’s unique for this program to succeed with our members,” said Rumfield.

Mancias, who also volunteers as a coach for her sons’ YMCA basketball team, says leading the Adventure Guides group gave her a sense of purpose while serving as a role model to other parents.

“The Y has been so good to us that I wanted to give back,” she said.

When Stephanie Valesquez found out that she was pregnant, she was frightened. “I was scared about the way my mom would react,” admitted Valesquez.

Just 17 years old, Valesquez was one of 140 pregnant or parenting teens attending Houston’s Lee High School last year. Many of those teens dropped out.

Through collaborative efforts at Lee High School, led by St. Luke’s Episcopal Charities, the YMCA was asked to help. Working with the school and other community partners, the YMCA established a YMCA Child Care center on the campus. Focused on keeping young mothers in school through graduation, the center provides a safe, nurturing place for children while their moms are in class.

“For every one of those babies there’s a mom who’s still in school working on her diploma,” emphasized Steve Amstutz, Lee High School principal.

The center, licensed for 24 children under the age of two, is staffed by attentive, watchful YMCA staff. Parents enroll their children at minimal cost and are required to volunteer in the center each week. Stephanie Valesquez enrolled her son, Adrian. She says she wants him to look up to her when he’s older.

“I wouldn’t want my son to be upset because his mom didn’t finish school,” Valesquez acknowledged. “I’m doing it for him so he can be proud of me, like I am of him.”

The YMCA is committed to helping all teens set a course for a positive future, and the young mothers at Lee High School feel lucky to have the YMCA on-site — even luckier to have the opportunity to complete their education.

“I wouldn’t have stayed in school because I had no one to take care of her,” said 18 year-old Cinthia Ruiz of her daughter, Ximena. “Now I’m going to go to college and be a pharmacist.”

Said Stephanie Valesquez, “I don’t have words to say thank you to the YMCA for what they have done.”

Just what does it take to help a kid grow? Love and nurturing and someone to show that they’ll make lots of decisions, though they may never quite know, which choice is right and when to say “no.”

We won’t tell kids how, but will give them the tools and help them to swim through life’s various pools. We’ll help them grow strong and to know all along, that there’s good and bad and there’s right and there’s wrong.

This next batch of kids are bright and will learn. We’ll trust them the future— no need for concern. Your gift gives them strength and important life skills. They’ll thrive and recover from many of life’s spills.

So thank you, thank you from the bottom of our heart. Your generosity and caring, they set you apart from the many who wish but never quite do, that which you do, your caring so true.
