The Y is a diverse organization of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to strengthen community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
Our membership is 21 million strong, and spread across more than 2,700 Y associations nationwide. Since no two communities are exactly alike, no two Ys are exactly alike. We bring men, women and children – just like you – together to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve health and well-being and foster a sense of social responsibility-so everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
While our programs and facilities are always based on the unique needs and interests of our communities, every Y has one thing in common: our people. The volunteers, staff, members and donors of the Y are all united by a deep commitment to strengthening community.
