We offer countless ways for people to get involvedwhether by giving, joining, or volunteering. Strong communities require strong leadership and shared values, both of which are embedded in the Ys work. We offer programs that help individuals develop educational, vocational, and leadership skills, and we actively partner with other organizations to meet community needs. A prime example of our commitment to meeting local needs is our longstanding partnership with the City of Oneonta. When the city could no longer offer certain services, they turned to the YMCA for help. Since 2014, the Y has provided all aquatic programming at the Wilber Park Pool. A few of our other long standing partnerships include the Junior Firefighter Program, summer preschool and summer swim lessons. Our collaborative efforts with partners like Bassett Healthcare Network, the City of Oneonta, the school district, and the Southside Mall are often viewed as a model for successful community collaboration. We also offer vital safety training such as CPR/First Aid, lifeguard certification, and swim instruction. In…

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 $2.5M to $3.2M (+28%).
