The YMCA Leadership Gala is a fundraising event put on by the YMCA of Regina Community Development & Initiatives Department. The objective of this event is to raise funds for the YMCA Capital Campaign in order to provide continued program funding for the Virtual YMCA program at Albert Community School.



The Virtual YMCA program is delivered at Albert Community School with future plans to expand to other Regina schools in September 2010. Currently, 50 children at Albert School in Grades 1-6 are attending the Virtual YMCA. The Virtual YMCA is a literacy-based program focusing on academic support and social growth with a program model based on learning enhancement, health and recreation, values education and building self confidence.



 



“The Virtual YMCA allows communities who do not have the ability to access current YMCA programs to access them and will ensure that the values and mission of the YMCA is present in Regina’s most needed communities.” – Virtual YMCA Director
