INVEST IN YOUR COMMUNITY

When you give to the Y, you make a meaningful difference in your community.

With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, strengthening communities is our cause. At the Y, we believe that lasting personal and social change happens when we all work together. Every day we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.

Your support to our annual Campaign for Youth and Families helps the Y deliver on our commitment:

To nurture the potential of youth through building confidence at camp, academic enrichment in safe after-school programs, or foundational skills and values in our child care programs
To improve the community’s health and well-being through combating obesity and chronic disease by providing the support and resources people need to make positive change
To give back and support our neighbors by empowering people with the resources to improve their lives and connect and contribute to the community
To offer programs and services to children, adults and families who need financial assistance
