YMCA of Central and Northern Westchester

What YMCA of Central and Northern Westchester does

The YMCA of Central and Northern Westchester (YMCA of CNW) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization (EIN 13-1740518) operating as a 'Y Without Walls' — delivering youth development, early childhood education, and community programs in schools and community spaces across Westchester and Putnam Counties rather than maintaining a traditional gym/facility. Core programming includes NY State OCFS-licensed Early Learning Centers for children 6 weeks to 5 years (White Plains and Valhalla locations), Universal Pre-Kindergarten in partnership with 12+ school districts, School-Age Child Care (SACC) for grades K-8, summer day camp at the 100-acre YMCA Camp Combe facility in Putnam Valley, and teen leadership programs including Youth and Government, Teen Leaders Club, and Counselor-in-Training tracks. The organization deploys evidence-based curricula including SCALED Learning (licensed from YMCA of Greater Seattle), CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health), and HEPA standards, and integrates with operational platforms Arux/Eleyo (registration), CampDocs (camp management), and ClassDojo (parent communication).

Revenue is generated through recurring subscription tuition across programs — infant care priced at $1,162–$2,669/month, toddler and preschool at similar ranges, UPK extended day at $268–$626/month, SACC at $383–$626/month, and Westchester County summer programs at $440–$480/week, supplemented by tiered subsidized/full-cost pricing at Camp Combe. A $65 annual registration fee per child applies across programs. Additional revenue derives from charitable contributions (individual giving, corporate sponsors including Combe, JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, Con Edison, Citrin Cooperman), foundation grants (Buffalo Wild Wings Foundation, St. Faiths House, United Way of Westchester & Putnam), and annual fundraising events such as the Golf Outing via Givebutter. Distribution is direct-to-family through on-site programming in partner schools, ELCs, and Camp Combe; the Y holds NY State OCFS childcare licensing, NYS Department of Education UPK approval, Charity Navigator Four-Star rating, and Candid GuideStar Platinum Transparency Seal.
