Together, We're Creating a Better Community

Every day the Y supports kids, adults, seniors and families with programs that protect, teach, connect, heal, nourish and encourage.

Your Support
Counts

Every dollar donated to the Y has a lasting impact, right here in greater Kansas City.

The Y passionately focuses on strengthening communities — bridging gaps of income, race, religion, age and more. But we can’t do it alone. 

With the support of generous donors like you, the Y provides everyone the opportunity to be healthy and thrive, to connect with others, and contribute to a better community.
