Hamilton Area YMCA

Our Community Connections

Horizon Foundation
“Healthy U” program is a collaboration between the NJ State Alliance of YMCAs and the Horizon Foundation.  The foundation provided a grant to implement the program in our Before and After School Program and Preschool Program. “Healthy U” has a CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) curriculum developed by the University of Texas with the purpose of raising awareness about and prevent childhood obesity.  Funding received was used for staff training and to purchase equipment.  “Healthy U” is self-sustaining because the initial equipment purchased is still used and staff continues to train new staff on existing curriculum.

Hamilton Township School District
We partner with the Hamilton Township School District by providing the appropriate staff needed for all interested students to participate in our Before and After School Care.

Mercer County Office for the Disabled
Through a partnership with the Mercer County Office for the Disabled, we receive funding to continue to strengthen the community through our Diverse Abilities Program, which provides services and programs for individuals with disabilities.

Miracle League
Through a partnership with The Rotary Club of Robbinsville/Hamilton the Miracle League of Mercer County calls the Hamilton Area YMCA Branch home.  The Miracle League field provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball on a 100% barrier free baseball field.
