Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Y. From coaching youth sports to raising funds for our annual campaigns to leading our boards, volunteers are essential to elevating our mission, our cause and our voice. Thank you to our volunteers for giving back and advancing our cause of strengthening communities.

CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY Working with our partners to give back.CITY OF ANAHEIM

Public/private partnerships make our community stronger. The City of Anaheim’s collaboration with the Anaheim Family YMCA has positively impacted our community in many ways.

Las asociaciones públicas / privadas fortalecen a nuestra comunidad. La colaboración de la Ciudad de Anaheim con el YMCA de Anaheim ha tenido un impacto positivo en nuestra comunidad de muchas maneras.

• En 1999, la ciudad de Anaheim fue socio fundador de YMCA y Anaheim Elementary para lanzar el programa Anaheim Achieves. Con su apoyo continuo, este programa ha crecido para atender a más de 6,500 estudiantes cada día • La Ciudad de Anaheim también se ha asociado con el YMCA para proporcionar un espacio de programa para servir a miles de jóvenes, incluido el Centro Juvenil de West Anaheim y el Centro Juvenil Centro de Anaheim. • La asociación de la Ciudad de Anaheim y el YMCA a proporcionar lecciones de natación y natación pública en Pearson Park también ha hecho que nuestra comunidad sea más segura y más fuerte. • Cuando lanzamos nuestro programa Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) en 2012, la ciudad de Anaheim también estuvo presente como un socio activo. Esto condujo a una resolución de 2013 que designa a la Ciudad de Anaheim como una ciudad HEAL. • A medida que el YMCA se prepara para construir una nueva instalación y complejo comunitario, la Ciudad de Anaheim ha proporcionado generosamente el terreno adyacente a Ross Park por un dólar por año.

Por estos y otros motivos, el YMCA de Anaheim Family aplaude a la ciudad de Anaheim. Gracias por su colaboración y por demostrar el poder de trabajar juntos.

• In 1999, the City of Anaheim was a founding partner with the YMCA and Anaheim Elementary to launch the Anaheim Achieves Afterschool program. With their continued support, this program has grown to serve over 6,500 students each day. • The City of Anaheim has also partnered with the YMCA to provide program space to serve thousands of youth, including the West Anaheim Youth Center and the Anaheim Downtown Youth Center. • The City's partnership to help the YMCA provide swim lessons and public swim at Pearson Park has also made our community safer and stronger. • When we launched our Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) program in 2012, the City of Anaheim was also there as an active partner. This led to a 2013 resolution designating the City of Anaheim as a HEAL City. • As the YMCA prepares to build a new facility and community complex, the City of Anaheim has generously provided the land adjacent to Ross Park for one dollar per year.

For these reasons and more, the Anaheim Family YMCA applauds the City of Anaheim! Thank you for your partnership and for demonstrating the power of working together.

SUN SAFETY TIPS CONSEJOS DE SEGURIDAD DEL SOL

It’s a bright, sunny day, and you and your family are outdoors enjoying the fine weather. But that fine weather can turn out to be not so fine if your family doesn’t know the precautions to take to avoid sunburn and heat-related illnesses. Es un día brillante y soleado, y usted y su familiaestán afuera disfrutando del buen tiempo. Pero ese buen clima puederesultar no tan bueno si su familia no conoce las precauciones quedebe tomar para evitar las quemaduras solares y las enfermedadesrelacionadas con el calor.

SUN PROTECTION PROTECCION SOLAREveryone likes to be out in the sun, but prolonged, repeated exposure to sunlight can lead to sunburn or, over time, to skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that 500,000 Americans develop preventable and curable skin cancer each year. To avoid sunburn and to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer, follow these precautions:A todo el mundo le gusta estar al sol, pero la exposición prolongada y repetida a la luz solar puede provocar quemaduras solares o, con el tiempo, cáncer de piel. La American Cancer Society calcula que 500,000 estadounidenses desarrollan cáncer de piel prevenible y curable cada año. Para evitar las quemaduras solares y reducir el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de piel, siga estas precauciones:

• Avoid being out in the sun in the middle of the day, when ultraviolet (UV) rays are strongest. • Wear a suitable sunscreen. The American Cancer Society recommends a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Use a higher protection level for sensitive areas like the face and the tops of the feet. • As no sunscreen is water resistant, be sure to reapply sunscreen after swimming. • Wear a hat with a brim or a visor. • Wear sunglasses with a good UV rating to reduce glare and exposure to ultraviolet light. • Wear a shirt if you’re out in the sun for a long time.

• Evite salir al sol a la mitad del día, cuando los rayos ultravioleta (UV) son más fuertes.  • Use un protector solar adecuado. La American Cancer Society recomienda un protector solar con un factor de protección solar (SPF) de al menos 15. Use un nivel de protección más alto para áreas sensibles como la cara y la parte superior de los pies.  • Como ningún protector solar es resistente al agua, asegúrese de volver a aplicar protector solar después de nadar.  • Use un sombrero con ala o visera.  • Use gafas de sol con una buena clasificación de rayos UV para reducir el deslumbramiento y la exposición a la luz ultravioleta.  • Use una camisa si está afuera en el sol por un largo tiempo.

TEEN VOICEI have gone to school for a solid 10-11 years if you consider kindergarten a grade level. A part from having a personal life and social life at school, my favorite time of the school day would be coming to Anaheim Achieves because it gives me a more relaxing and productive state of mind. I attended the Anaheim Achieves after school program for about 6 years. There were so many things that I wouldn't open my mind to were what I called “doors of opportunity” because it built my self esteem and gave me more of a positive personality. I have been in so many extra-curricular activities in school but I've never thought that I would do other great things AFTER school! I’ve seen now that it’s even better if you can just come out little by little from your shell to see for yourself.

I am currently going to the program and so far I'm feeling the same positive vibes. Before knowing of Anaheim Achieves, I would usually have the athletic mood of joining as much sports I can adjust to. It wasn’t much for me, so I heard of the program from a close friend and my very first day was pretty good. We had pasta for our 5:00 snack time in the elementary program. I enjoyed eating the pasta because of the flavor and this would occur everyday. Although, there were other things to do but eat, I played sports as well. For example, the time I would wait for snack time, I’d either play soccer or volleyball. Volleyball was one of my favorites because even though we

He asistido a la escuela durante 10-11 años si considera que el kínder es un grado. A parte de tener una vida personal y una vida social en la escuela, mi tiempo favorito de la escuela llegaría a Anaheim Achieves porque me da un estado de ánimo más relajante y productivo. Asistí al programa extracurricular Anaheim Achieves durante aproximadamente 6 años. Había tantas cosas a las que no me atrevía a pensar que eran lo que llamé "puertas de oportunidad" porque me ayudaron a desarrollar mi autoestima y me dieron una personalidad más positiva. He estado en tantas actividades extracurriculares en la escuela pero nunca pensé que haría otras cosas buenas ¡DESPUÉS de la escuela! He visto ahora que es aún mejor si puedes salir poco a poco de tu caparazón para verlo por ti mismo.

Actualmente voy al programa y hasta ahora estoy sintiendo las mismas vibraciones positivas. Antes de saber sobre Anaheim Achieves, generalmente tengo el ánimo atlético de unirme a todos los deportes a los que me pueda adaptar. No fue mucho para mí, así que me enteré del programa de un amigo cercano y mi primer día fue bastante bueno. Tuvimos pasta para nuestra hora de merienda 5:00 en el programa de primaria. Disfruté comer la pasta por el sabor y esto ocurriría todos los días. Aunque, había otras cosas que hacer aparte de comer, también jugaba deportes. Por ejemplo, el tiempo que esperaría para la hora de la merienda, o jugaría al fútbol de voleibol. El voleibol fue uno de mis favoritos porque aunque no teníamos una red, me gustaría rodear a todos y comenzar a jugar juegos alegres que se beneficiarían de jugar el deporte real. No solo era bastante el atleta, sino que hice otras cosas geniales como ser parte de una película en el Anaheim Achieves Film Festival. No alardear demasiado, pero nací una estrella porque tuve que ser el personaje principal en el cuento clásico de la ropa nueva de la emperatriz. Fue una gran idea para mí probar cosas nuevas (¡Bien, terminé con la fanfarronada!). Para referencia futura, me gustaría ofrecerme como voluntario para el programa, quiero decir, estoy bastante cerca de graduarme de la escuela secundaria y ser voluntario en Anaheim. Achieves parece ser el camino correcto a seguir. En general, el vínculo que tengo con el personal de la escuela extraescolar es el mejor. Desde el quinto grado hasta mi actual segundo año, me he llevado bien con ellos. Unirse a Anaheim Achieves ha sido una experiencia que vale la pena. No creo que ningún otro programa me ayude a buscar más oportunidades.

didn’t have a net, I’d circle everyone and start playing joyful games that would benefit from playing the actual sport. Not only was I quite the athlete, I did other cool things like being part of a film in the Anaheim Achieves Film Festival. Not to brag too much, but I was born a star because I got to be THE main character in the classic short tale of the Empress’ New Clothes. It was a great idea for me to try new things (Alright I’m done with the bragging!). For future reference, I’d want to actually volunteer as a staff for the program, I mean I am pretty close to graduating from high school and volunteering at Anaheim Achieves seems like the right way to go. Generally, the bond I have with the after school staff are the best. From fifth grade til my current sophomore year, I’ve gotten along well with them. Joining Anaheim Achieves has been a worthwhile experience. I don’t think that any other program would help me seek more opportunities.
