YMCA AREAS OF IMPACT
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Through the Y, they can build the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Check out our child care programs, youth enrichment classes, summer camp and more!
HEALTHY LIVING
We are improving the nation’s health and well-being. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Y has been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical needs for more than 170 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being, welcoming and connecting diverse populations or advocating for healthier communities, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.
AN ORGANIZATION FOR ALL
One in three of our members and program participants receive financial assistance to access Y programs. That’s thousands of campers, preschoolers, after-school program participants, young athletes, middle school students and swimmers. This puts us in a unique position to have an incredible influence on the lives of young people, from preschoolers to high schoolers. At the Y, we work diligently to provide a level playing field — literally and figuratively — for today's youth, ensuring that all kids have the resources and support to grow and thrive.
