Building a Better Us
Everything the Y does is in service of making us—as individuals and a community—better. From advocacy to education, disease prevention to sports for all abilities, swim lessons to after school programs, the Y fills the gaps where society falls short. In 2017, 136,243 people grew stronger at the Y through membership, programs, volunteering and giving.
