Mission Moment: Grants help to double swim safety education participation

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, we believe that access to life-saving skills like water safety should never be out of reach. Thanks to several recent grants, we are expanding our ability to provide free swim safety education to individuals and families across our community, many of whom would not otherwise have access to these critical programs.

Mission Moment: A summer job that builds leaders

Ask almost anyone who’s worked at a summer camp and they’ll tell you the same thing: you show up thinking it’s “just a summer job” and you leave with stories, confidence and skills you didn’t know you were capable of yet.
