Programs
Healthy Living - The Y is a widely recognized expert in the field of holistic well-being. Our work ensures that families are strengthened, connections are developed, and communities are improved because of our dedication to ensuring all feel a sense of belonging when they are at the Y. Shared experiences allow people, who would not typically interact in their day to day lives, the opportunity to learn from one another and find common ground. Our unique environment fosters that understanding, and as a result, our communities are better equipped to deal with societal challenges. We are particularly aware of the mental health benefit derived from regular exercise shared with others on the same journey to improve overall wellness. Our Ys are a hub for all as they seek to maintain a high quality of life through exercise, friendship, improved nutrition, and maintaining healthy habits. Our programs are available to all, regardless of faith, income, or background. For additional information regarding these vital offerings and their impact, please see Schedule O.

All kids are worthy of discovering who they are and what they can achieve, so we offer environments of exploration coupled with strong mentorship. At the YMCA, young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. YMCA programs such as Child Care, Camping, Youth and Government, Black Achievers, and Reaching Our Potential offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Our expenses in this endeavor include subsidies and direct financial scholarships that are the singular pathway for engagement for many of these young people.

For over 137 years, we have been at the forefront of addressing societal needs. In 2025, we provided over $2.9 million of direct financial assistance and over $3.4 million of community benefit to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. Y programs, such as our literacy initiative/English as a second language, Let's Get Fit (reaching adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with fitness and socialization opportunities), and partnerships with under-served communities are only a few examples of how we deliver training, resources, and support to enhance the lives of our neighbors. We celebrate strong, inclusive communities FOR ALL. In 2025, we engaged over 122,000 YMCA members, participants, and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.

The organization over time
