At the heart of the Rauner Family
YMCA is the power to transform
—both yourself and the world
around you.
A CLOSER LOOK
Like many Y employees, Susan believes in the power of the YMCA to
help make our communities healthy, both inside and out. Susan knows
firsthand the reward of seeing children succeed thanks to the Y: her
daughter, J’Lee, is a “Y kid” who recently was honored with the Indiana
Commission for Higher Education’s award.
Susan said that out of thousands of applicants, her daughter was
the only fifth grader to win this award. She attributes her daughter’s
success in school, her drive and her ambition to her enrollment in
afterschool programs at Rauner, where staff work closely with children
to strive for excellence. “I’m so grateful to the staff, the donors who
pour funds and resources into these programs, and for the people that
have a heart toward seeing our children overcome obstacles that could
hinder them from becoming successful citizens of our society,” Susan
added.
THE Y MEETS COMMUNITY NEEDS
At the Y, we strengthen community through youth development, healthy
living and social responsibility because we believe in nurturing the
potential of every child and teen, improving our community’s health and
well-being and giving back and providing support for our neighbors.
From fitness to wellness to community service, everything we do at the
Y is an exercise in possibility.

THE RAUNER FAMILY YMCA
As a nonprofit organization committed to youth development,
healthy living and social responsibility, the Rauner Family YMCA
has been proud to help our neighbors learn, grow and thrive for
five years. • A first grader comes to school ready
to learn because he attended an early
childhood program.
Between the kick of the soccer ball, the smile that says “you’re
welcome” and the sound of laughing teens, the Rauner Family
YMCA strengthens bodies, minds and communities. Where some
see obstacles, we see opportunities for our members, volunteers,
program participants and staff to make a difference.
• Kids have a safe place to go after
school and in the summer.
The Rauner Family YMCA serves the communities of Back of the
Yards, Brighton Park, Little Village, McKinley Park and Pilsen.
For more than 7,800 members, 850 volunteers and 1,100
program participants, the Rauner Family YMCA is a destination
where local children and families have the opportunity to discover
who they are and what they can achieve, and where people of
all ages, interests and abilities can build and maintain healthy
lifestyle habits.
• A teen makes better choices because
she feels welcomed and valued at the Y.
