WHAT WE DO
HOW YOUR GIFT HELPS
The Y in West St. Paul brings “so much more” to the communities of West St. Paul, South St. Paul, Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights, Sunfish Lake and Lilydale. Things like academic support for local young people, better health to people of all ages, and ways to support our neighbors.
HOW YOUR GIFT HELPS
- Provide financial assistance so that everyone can benefit from the Y.
- Serve Twin Cities youth who are more at risk.
- Address the achievement gap.
- Combat chronic disease.
- Offer water safety for all.
- Create meaningful outdoor experiences.
- One out of every four local people who benefits from our Y is able to do so because of generous contributions to our Annual Campaign. They could not do that without your help. Thank you!
- The West St. Paul Thunderbolt Swim Team gives youth the opportunity to learn how to be a team member, while building life-long healthy living skills and self-confidence that spills into all aspects of their life.
- We support District 197 youth and teachers during summer school to keep them involved and motivated, reducing summer learning loss.
- We provide healthy activities for our member youth and families throughout the year as a part of their membership and the Y’s commitment to healthy families and communities.
- We serve thousands of children in our Kids Stuff program each year while parents are able to exercise – making for healthier and happier families!
- Our Y provides free after school programs to more than 70 Moreland Elementary School students, giving them a fun, safe and positive environment where they get academic support, arts programs and recreation while their parents are working.
- Young students from Moreland, Covington Court Apartments, Baker Center and from the Boys and Girls Club, are safer around water this year after receiving free water safety lessons at our Y and local community pools.
