MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
For one hundred years, the YMCA in Princeton has been dedicated to meeting the most pressing challenges of the day. Although societal challenges have changed over time, the YMCA has continued to seek and provide innovative responses and solutions.
Today, a new set of challenges is calling the YMCA to act. Our nation’s lifestyle health choices are contributing to increased rates of disease and reduced quality of life. Families are finding it difficult to balance their work, family and civic life. Youth, regardless of family income, are not receiving the support they need to develop positive character, skills and values that can guide them throughout their life.
The YMCA is more relevant and more needed than ever before.
Although these are significant challenges, they are not insurmountable. Each represents an opportunity for our YMCA to fulfill its mission in this community.
As we look ahead, the Princeton Family YMCA will focus on three strategic priorities in response:
- Holistic development of children and youth
- Healthy lifestyles for all
- Strengthening families
Our board of directors welcomes your suggestions and thoughts on how we can be a more effective YMCA in the 21st century and achieve our three strategic priorities. Thank you for your continued support of our organization and the important work we do for the Princeton region.
David Sandahl, Chair
Princeton Family YMCA Board of Directors
