Why the Y?

The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. The Y offers a variety of programs and services to its members and the community. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Our programs are designed to promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibly.

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. 

We have three areas of focus:

Youth Development, because young people need caring adults to provide support, guidance and encouragement as they grow.

Healthy Living, because wellness in spirit, mind and body strengthens our very being, and enhances our interactions with others.

Social Responsibility, because we truly are in this together, and together we can harness our individual strengths and bring about positive change around us.

As always, we welcome your input. We invite you to share your thoughts with us.
