Our YMCA welcomes all. We strengthen communities, educate and nurture children, and promote healthy living in spirit, mind and body. Our strategic goals include providing youth and teen skill development, reversing the obesity epidemic, improving health outcomes for all community members, decreasing social isolation, and supporting basic needs for those with financial difficulties. Our team of over 2,400 employees and 400 volunteers are committed to serving all in our communities. This commitment can be seen in the high quality of service we provide and our strong financial assistance program, through which over $4,200,000 was distributed to over 6,000 children, adults and families who were unable to pay for Y membership and programs.
