This program is awarded to our YMCA through a grant that is a collaboration between The Horizon Fundation and the NJ YMCA State Alliance. The Hopewell Valley YMCA has joined this state wide YMCA initiative for the Healthy U Program. Healthy U is only available to YMCA programs. YMCARE staff are trained to deliver the Healthy U program. The curriculum for Healthy U is based on the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH). Watch for the great activities and life changing lessons each child will be exposed to this year in YMCARE.
