Philosophy

With a focus on Youth Development, healthy living and social responsibility, strengthening communities is our cause. At the Y, we believe that lasting personal and social change happens when we all work together. Every day we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.

Your support helps the Y deliver our commitment:

• To nurture the potential of youth through building confidence at camp, academic enrichment in safe after-school programs or foundational skills and values in our child care programs
• To improve the nation’s health and well-being through combating obesity and chronic disease by providing support and resources people need to make positive changes
• To give back and support our neighbors by empowering people with the resources to improve their lives. The Y connects and contributes to the community through its youth and teen programs helping to teach them valuable life skills that will enrich their lives.
• To offer programs and services to children, adults and families who need financial assistance
