We are a powerful association of men, women, and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. That's why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Everyday, we work side-by-side with our neighbors in 10,000 communities to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
