The Y (YMCA)

The Y: We're for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. WHO WE ARE The Y is the nation’s leading nonprofit strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Across the U.S., 2,700 Ys engage 22 million men, women and children – regardless of age, income or background – to empower young people to reach their full potential, improve individual and community well-being and give back and inspire action in our communities. Anchored in more than 10,000 communities, the Y has the long-standing relationships and physical presence not just to promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. OUR IMPACT The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, families and communities. Every day our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good.
