Y Awarded $5,038 Grant from JCPenney Afterschool Fund

The YMCA of Northern Michigan is providing more children that ever access to quality after school programs with the help of a grant from the JCPenney Afterschool Fund, a charitable organization committed to providing children in need with access to life-enriching after school programs that foster their academic, physical and social development. The grant of $5,038 is specifically targeted to help provide financial assistance to youth who are financially unable to participate in an after school program and those who are currently participating in a program but are at rick of leaving due to a lack of funds.

This grant is one of 287 similar grants being awarded to YMCAs around the county. The nation's 2,686 YMCAs serve nearly 21 million people each year, including 9.5 million under the age of 18. YMCAs have proudly served America's communities for nearly 160 years by building healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
