Power of Trades Program: Important Update

People high fiving

While it's true that our program hasn't received the funding for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we want to take a moment to express our profound gratitude. To our cherished clients, dedicated community partners, and the incredible YMCA staff/team who pour their hearts into everything they do - your unwavering support is the backbone of our mission. In the face of this challenge, your solidarity and collaboration have shone brighter than ever before. Your belief in our cause, your willingness to stand by us through thick and thin, fuels our determination to press on. Together, we've built something truly remarkable - a network of strength, resilience, and unwavering support.

We're deeply moved by the countless stories of transformation and hope that have emerged from our program and our clients. Today, we want to share one such testimonial from a client who recently graduated from the Power of Trades program. This client embodied the true value of the YMCA:

”I found out about the YMCA thanks to the Power of Trades program, the team not only helped me contact companies, but they also gave me the tools I needed to be able to do it myself and that is what I appreciate most about the program, I am grateful to each one of the team members.”
-        Jessica (Power of Trades Client)

Stories serve as a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. While the path ahead may be uncertain, we're confident that with your continued support, we can navigate any obstacle that comes our way. Together, let's keep pushing forward, breaking barriers, and making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
