FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The Taylor Y provides youth, adults and families with demonstrated need the opportunity to join the YMCA via a scholarship program. This program is supported through contributions to our annual WE BUILD PEOPLE CAMPAIGN. Scholarship funds are awarded to those in need based on available resources.

Our WE BUILD PEOPLE CAMPAIGN Financial assistance is made possible thanks to the generosity of YMCA members, local businesses and the community. Because of these gifts, we are able to adhere to our mission of turning no one away based on the inability to pay. This year, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Taylor Family YMCA so that we may continue honoring our mission and strengthening our community.

STEPS Academy CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Please note that students will stay at same level for a few years. The class progresses each year.

BALLET : Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. Therefore we highly recommend all students take a ballet class in order to progress in other areas of dance and tumbling. Students at all levels learn the standard French terms for their technique and progress gradually through repetition of the basics and introduction of new steps to develop strength,

technique, style, expression, body placement and musicality. TAP: All levels learn tap terminology while they learn the moves. Students develop rhythm and coordination on musical feet. Students are taught both traditional and contemporary jazz/tap techniques. Pre-Ballet

Ages 2-4 Beginner dancers

Mini-Ballet Ages 4-6 Beginner dancers

MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF THE YMCA SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Global Services

Founded in 1844 in London, England, the Y has grown into one of the largest volunteer organizations in the world, serving more than 45-million people in 120 countries. Ys in the US have played a key role in the growth and strength of the global organization and continue to partner with other Ys worldwide to address critical social issues. From welcoming newcomers to the US to helping prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, Ys have the strength, experience and commitment to bring about positive change.

YMCA World Service

Since 1889, World Service has raised awareness of and financial support for the powerful work the global Y is doing every day, delivering life-changing programs that help people thrive and reach their full potential. Specifically, the Prairie Valley Family Y supports the Sioux nation YMCA in South Dakota. Ask us how you can help support this worthy cause.

Global Education

The Y helps people develop cultural competencies and key skills to collaborate with their peers around the world. From global curriculum in camping and afterschool programs to international service-learning opportunities and partnerships, the Y gives people the knowledge, experience and confidence to successfully interact in an increasingly globalized society.

Newcomer/Immigrant Engagement

The Y was created to help young people navigate in a new city far from family, friends and the comforts of home. This premise has extended throughout our history. Welcoming and engaging newcomers continues today with Ys across the country offering people the assistance they need to better transition into new communities.

Through services such as refugee settlement and adult education classes like English as a Second Language, the Y helps people to be self-reliant, productive and connected.

As an interconnected global network, the Y has the resources and solutions to build bridges at home and abroad to make our changing communities better and stronger moving forward.

Volunteerism and Giving

The generosity of others is at the core of our existence.

There is no other volunteer organization quite like the Y. That’s because in 10,000 communities across the nation, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise but deliver lasting personal and social change.

As the nation’s leading non-profit for youth development, healthy living and social responsi- bility, the Y provides kids, adults, families and communities with vital support and opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. When you volunteer at the Y, you take an active role in bringing about meaningful, enduring change right in your own neighborhood.

Every day, we work tirelessly to make sure everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. No child, family or adult is turned away. This past year alone, the Taylor Family Y provided over $100,000 in financial assistance to more than 300 families. When you give to the Y, you help strengthen our community and move us all forward. Rest assured, your gift – whatever you can give – will make a meaningful impact in your very own community. Please consider making a gift this year.
