Meet Miriam

This is Miriam. She’s an active 6-year old. Her mother works hard to
support Miriam and her brother Jacob. But without affordable childcare, it would
be nearly impossible. Miriam’s mom wouldn’t be able to continue working and the
family would face a cycle of despair.

That’s why Miriam’s family is thankful for the YMCA’s After-School Program. Not
only are Miriam and her brother receiving quality care when they’re not in school,
they’re developing their capacity for lifelong learning thanks to the curriculum at their
Child Care Centre. That’s where Miriam met Afia, who was doing a job-shadowing
placement with the YMCA. The two have become fast friends. In fact, Miriam calls
Afia the big sister she never had. Miriam has big dreams. One day, when she grows
up, she hopes to become a teacher — so she can take care of kids just like her.

Meet Afia

When Afia started at the YMCA Academy, the Y’s alternative high school,
she only had one high school credit. Her relationship with her family wasn’t good.
Things were really unsettled in her life and Afia had almost given up on returning
to school. That is, until she found out about the YMCA Academy. Now she has 21
credits, is on-track to graduate next summer and is thinking about going to college.

Afia doesn’t know where she would be without the YMCA. Now she encourages
other teens from her community — like Eamon — to get involved with the Y.
Afia wants to pursue a career in child care, and has even landed a job-shadowing
opportunity in a YMCA Child Care program. That experience has provided her with
a stronger sense of responsibility and skills that will serve her well as she goes on to
pursue college and her career goals.

Meet Eamon

Eamon lives in a tough neighbourhood. He says the police are always there,
and he sees people getting arrested all the time. Eamon doesn’t like being around
all of that, so he tries to get out whenever he can. Eamon heard about YMCA Teen
Night from his friend Afia, and now he’s been attending every week for the last year.
He’s grateful for the chance to get away to a place where he can feel safe and not
have to worry about getting caught up in trouble.

YMCA Teen Night has given Eamon a chance to meet and socialize with kids of all
different backgrounds — people like Victoria, whom he probably never would have
met had it not been for the Y. Eamon is glad to have Teen Night and looks forward
to it every week. He hopes that other kids in similar tough situations will try the
program as well. Eamon credits the YMCA for helping him stay out of trouble, and
for enabling him to stay positive about his future.

Meet Victoria & Roy

As a 14-year-old struggling with her weight, Victoria is often teased

by other kids whenever she tries to exercise. She always wanted to participate, but
felt embarrassed. Victoria was introduced to the Y through its YMCA Teen Nights,
where she finally felt safe to be herself. Roy, on the other hand, has always enjoyed
the YMCA’s Heath and Fitness programs. But as a senior citizen he was hesitant to
join the group of kids in the YMCA Martial Arts classes.

Both Victoria and Roy were encouraged to participate by Lee, a Y volunteer. Lee made
them feel at ease and took the time to introduce them to Raj, a taekwondo instructor
at the Y. While Victoria and Roy couldn’t be more different in life, at the YMCA they
had something in common — they were equally welcomed. Now Victoria also has
someone she can look up to. If Roy can stay fit and active at his age, there’s no
reason she can’t.

Meet Lee

Lee had hit a low point in his life. He had little money, no job and his
personal life was in turmoil. He knew it was time to make a change and to decide on his
life direction. Lee participated in the YMCA’s Youth Internship Program, which helped
him gain key employment training and experience under the guidance of a mentor.

Now Lee is set to begin his life with renewed focus and optimism. He’s even found
time to give back to the YMCA by volunteering twice a week. Lee loves to see the
smiles on the faces of young kids like Miriam as they leave the Centre with their
parents after another fun day in the After-School Program. Lee considers the Y a
part of his family and is thankful for all they have done to help him secure a more
promising future.

From the Chair of the Board and President

A healthy community does not happen by accident. It is built by the hands, hearts and
commitment of many. It reflects all that can be achieved when people come together,
when everyone is given the opportunity to succeed and thrive.

At the centre of a healthy community is where you will find the YMCA. For generations,
the YMCA of Greater Toronto has played a vital role in helping our young people acquire the
skills and guidance they need to reach their full potential. From a healthy start to life for our
youngest children to a strong and welcoming sense of community for those of all ages —
the programs and services of the YMCA are critical to ensuring the health and future of
our community and those who live here.

Our vision is to make the Greater Toronto Area home to the healthiest children, teens and
young adults. But the task before us is enormous.
2012 Annual Report

The Centre of Community

2012 Annual Report

Too many young people still lack the opportunities, access and support they need as they
transition through life — at every stage of their development. The role of the YMCA has
never been more critical.

Youth Strategy Initiatives

Over the past year, the YMCA’s Youth Strategy was brought to life by the success of our many
initiatives geared toward the young people of our community. Notable among these initiatives
was our YMCA Teen Nights, which provided youth between the ages of 13 and 18 —
including those not already involved in Y programs — with the opportunity to develop social
and leadership skills, participate in recreational activities and explore new interests, all free of
charge to participants thanks to our generous partners and donors.

New Centres of Community

Our plan to build new YMCA centres in underserved neighbourhoods will enable us to further
fulfill our goal to ensure healthy, sustainable communities — expanding our reach to serve
even more people of all socio-economic levels and backgrounds.

In support of this endeavour, we are pleased to announce:

• Cherry Street YMCA: As a legacy of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games, the site for
the Pan Am Athletes’ Village will become the Cherry Street YMCA. In partnership with
the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the YMCA is assisting in the development
of a 50,000 sq. ft building, which will serve as an anchor for the new community in
the West Don Lands.

Our Dedicated People

It goes without saying that our achievements would not be possible without the tireless efforts
of our dedicated volunteers, alumni and staff. At the YMCA, we strive to build a culture that
embraces and supports diversity and social inclusion. In support of our commitment to these
principles YMCA of Greater Toronto leaders met at a landmark Diversity and Social Inclusion
learning forum in March 2011.

Strong Start, Great Future

We could not be more resolute in our commitment to helping children, teens and young
adults in our community achieve their full potential. When we come together and look out
for each other, anything is possible. With your support, our vision is within reach.

Delivering On Our Mission

The YMCA for years has been very good at delivering quality programs that are responsive
to the needs of the community. Through a values-based approach of caring, health, honesty,
inclusiveness, respect and responsibility, the YMCA has gained trust as a relevant and effective
community charity. However as the YMCA of Greater Toronto undertakes our new 2010-2020
strategic plan, we are more rigorously measuring our work and its impact on health.

The YMCA believes that every young person should have access to the programs and services
that enable them to achieve physical, social, emotional and mental health — in order to ensure
that the GTA is home to the healthiest children, teens and young adults. Poverty, isolation,
education, sedentary lifestyles, and underemployment are all among the social determinants
of health that YMCA programs are helping address. Our ongoing research investments ensure:

• YMCA programs are based upon current knowledge about what children, teens and youth
need (i.e., what life stage goals and transitions are critical for the YMCA to support) and
what interventions are proven to have the greatest impact;

• A
 re supported by training to ensure we deliver on the highest standards of early learning,
youth outreach and intervention, lifeguarding or leadership programs;

• Are developed in a socially inclusive way with our communities to identify assets, needs,
and potential solutions to improving health; and,

• A
 re measured so that the YMCA continues to contribute to a growing body of evidence
about what programs or interventions have been proven to be effective.

Every day at a YMCA centre, people from all walks of life come together, improve their
physical and mental health, and find opportunities for social development and employment.
The Y provides the help and resources individuals need to improve their lives while, at the
same time, transforming our communities for the better.

and were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The auditors review this annual report
for consistency with the Audited Financial Statements.

Q. What percentage of my donation goes to fundraising?

For every dollar you donate an average of 64 cents goes towards enabling our mission and
vision. The remainder is spent on fundraising (36 cents).

The YMCA of Greater Toronto raises funds through a combination of individual donations,
corporate partnerships, fundraising events and online fundraising.

In 2011-12 the Association provided $6,086,511 to support financially assisted families across
the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. Through philanthropic efforts, 32% of
these funds were raised through the YMCA Strong Kids campaign.
