At the YMCA, we firmly believe that we aren’t just a business but a member of the greater community. To that end, we have been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical social needs for more than 160 years.
As the leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y works side by side with our neighbors every day. We understand that being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It’s also about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. Our goal is to ensure that every individual, regardless of age, income level, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. The Y depends on support from community leaders, members, donors, and volunteers to achieve this objective.
