OUR AREA OF FOCUS

We focus our work in three key areas, because nurturing the potential of kids, helping people live healthier, and supporting our neighbors, are fundamental to strengthening communities:

• YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
• HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation’s health and well-being.
• SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

Our Cause Defines Us

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. 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 learn, grow and thrive.

Our Strength is in Community

The Y is a non-profit like no other. That’s because we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver, positive change.

• The Y is community centered. For over 70 years, we’ve been listening and responding to our community.
• The Y brings people together. We connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.
• The Y nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
• The Y has local presence and global reach. We continue to motivate our community to effect lasting, meaningful change while being a member of the larger Y movement.

Our Impact is Felt Every Day

With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all, our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good.
