January 2025 Mission Monday
A newsletter for volunteers, employees, and friends of the YMCA of Wichita Falls
Dear YMCA Family,
As we step into the New Year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you—our members, staff, volunteers, and community partners—who make our YMCA a force for good, support, and connection. I am thrilled to kick off our first “Mission Monday” newsletter of 2025 to our growing YMCA family and it is my hope that you can gain more insight as to how we strive every day to strengthen the foundations of our community.
The Y will always be more than a gym or a community center—it’s a place where lives are transformed, where friendships are formed, and a place to truly belong. As we welcome our new members and program participants in 2025, we will continue this mission with greater determination.
This year, we have exciting plans to expand our programs to meet the needs of the community, create memorable experiences, and deepen our impact. Your unwavering support makes this possible and we look forward to bright days ahead. Together, we will continue to create opportunities that inspire individuals, build strong families, and uplift our entire community.
On behalf of the entire YMCA team, I wish you a New Year filled with health, joy, and endless possibilities. Let’s make 2025 a year of growth, unity, and positive change.
It is an honor to serve you and thank you for being part of our YMCA. Here’s to an incredible year ahead!
Warmest regards,
Jon Dearolf
President and CEO
On Monday, January 20th we held our first ever NEXT GEN Youth Leadership Program at the Isaiah 40:31 & Fain Sports Complex. Our goal for this program is to help equip our next generation of leaders with leadership skills, enhance in-person communication skills, and share strategies for motivating teams and individuals.

WHAT IS FAST FORWARD FITNESS?
Fast Forward Fitness is a complementary orientation where you‘ll have the opportunity to connect with a Wellness Coach who will understand your goals. Our aim is to make sure you are comfortable with using equipment safely, aware of the available resources, and, most importantly, satisfied with your choice to embark on a healthier journey. The Fast Forward Fitness program includes three complimentary appointments, and regardless of your health and wellness objectives, we are committed to supporting you at every stage of your fitness journey.
ANGEL TREE DONATIONS
THANK YOU TO OUR INCREDIBLE MEMBERS!
Because of YOU, we were able to support families from our Angel Trees with the Wichita Falls Housing Authority and Wichita Co Child Welfare Board. We are so thankful to our Members for helping make a lasting IMPACT on our community. During December some of our staff were able to help deliver those gifts to families and were greeted with so many smiles and words of gratitude.
