Programs
Youth Development: Nishna Valley Family YMCA is committed to nurturing and helping young people develop to their fullest potential. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. We provide preschool learning and infant/toddler/school age childcare through our 3 programs (Jack & Jill Preschool, Ann W Wickman Child Development Center for 0-5 years, and TLC/Summer Y'ers for school aged) We serve almost 300 children in Atlantic and the surrounding communities. All 3 programs are licensed by Iowa DHHS. Our childcare is open to all families who need quality care no matter what they can afford. We also offer over 40 youth sports & programs to over 1,000 kids of all ages throughout the year. Some examples are: flag football, track, volleyball, t-ball, swimming lessons, swim team, safety around water (SAW) and Water 101 Safety. These programs give youth the opportunity to build on the 4 pillars of character: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Our annual volunteer led fundraising campaign makes scholarship money available so that every child can have access to our programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $3.4M to $4.9M (+44%).
