  • The Y engages over 10,000 people each year.  With a focus on nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the community’s health and well-being and providing opportunities to give back and support neighbors, the Y enables youth, adults, families and communities to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.
  • The Y is accessible to all people.  Financial assistance is offered to individuals and families who cannot afford membership through our Scholarship Program.
