Young Womens Christian Association of Greater Green Bay Inc

THE YWCA OFFERS THE BEST SWIMMING LESSONS IN TOWN FOR NEWBORNS TO ADULTS. GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TO SWIM IN THE YWCA'S 88 DEGREE WARM WATER POOLS. EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS CHALLENGE SWIMMERS AT A VARIETY OF LEVELS. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING HISPANIC AND SOMALI RESOURCE CENTERS TO PROVIDE CULTURALLY SPECIFIC LESSONS FOR MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A POOL OR OTHER BODY OF WATER. PROGRAMS ARE NONCOMPETITIVE AND SMALL CLASS SIZES ALLOW STUDENTS MORE ONE-ON-ONE TIME WITH INSTRUCTORS TO FOCUS ON SKILL DEVELOPMENT. THE YWCA HAS INSTRUCTORS THAT HAVE BEEN TEACHING SWIM LESSONS FOR OVER 25 YEARS. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE TRAINED BY THE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TO STAY CONSISTENT WITH THE SWIM INSTRUCTION STYLE. LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATION, CPR, AED AND FIRST AID ARE ALSO TAUGHT IN-HOUSE BY THE EXPERIENCED YWCA STAFF.

THE YWCA IS DEDICATED TO ELIMINATING RACISM, EMPOWERING WOMEN, AND PROMOTING PEACE, JUSTICE, FREEDOM, AND DIGNITY FOR ALL. AS WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION, OUR GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR WOMEN OF ALL AGES, RACES, AND FAITHS. IN SUPPORT OF THIS MISSION AND THESE GOALS, THE YWCA OFFERS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO MEET CRITICAL NEEDS, PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY, ELIMINATE RACISM AND VIOLENCE, AND ACHIEVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL PEOPLE. THE YWCA GREATER GREEN BAY PROVIDES A VARIETY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE RESOURCES AND PROGRAMMING TO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. OUR CORE TRAINING PRESENTATIONS ARE GROUNDED IN BEST-PRACTICES AND RESEARCH RELATED TO THE BENEFITS OF A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT, AND WILL REVOLVE AROUND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT TRAINING, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING, AND THE CREATION OF EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCES THAT HELP SHIFT ATTITUDES/BELIFES THAT ARE BARRIERS TO CHANGE.
