Because we understand that a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors, we provide services such as fitness classes, youth sports programming, BackPack Buddies, Y-PALS, activities for seniors, and special events that enrich the lives of children and families. The Y is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization relying on donors and volunteers to help those in need right here in our community. With a goal of ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure, we offer need-based financial assistance to individuals and families wishing to join the Y or participate in one of our programs.
