TURN YOUR GIFT INTO…

THEIR POTENTIAL

Because we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, the Y is for Youth Development.  Through the Y, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.  Y activities give our children the opportunity to become confident kids today and healthier, happier grown-ups tomorrow.

THEIR HEALTH

Improving the nation’s health and well-being is a priority for the Y. At the Y, we help children and adults understand and value their health, and we nurture their well-being. We offer resources and guidance to maintain or improve physical activity, health and wellness. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.

THEIR FUTURE

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. The Y has been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical needs for 160 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. Together we can build stronger, more inclusive communities, provide support for families and promote positive change overall.

“My husband and I had recently retired when our daughter, who was raising her son alone, suffered a paralyzing illness. We assumed her care and the care of our grandson.  I work again now, but we’re struggling to make ends meet and child care is a big expense that we hadn’t planned for.  We were so relieved to learn that the Y has financial assistance.  I really don’t know what we would do without the Y.  The Y provides a great environment for kids, and I really feel like the teachers care about my grandson and our situation.”   --Y’s Kids financial assistance participant
