• Families come together to have fun and spend quality time with each other.

• Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they can achieve.

• Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier.

• Communities thrive because neighbors support each other and give back.

• We all build relationships that further our sense of belonging and purpose.

Membership For All We believe everyone deserves a Y and strive to ensure that no one is turned away because of financial need.

Please contact Megan Heller at ext. 375 about financial assistance. It’s easy to apply and the Y does everything it can to make the Y a place for all.

Volunteer, Donate, Advocate As a nonprofit, the Y is able to strengthen community because of the dedicated youth, families and individuals who share our passion and make the Y part of their lives.

They give their time, resources and talents—every day and in hundreds of ways—because they know they can improve the lives of others while enhancing their own through the Y. Well-being for many of our neighbors is all too frequently limited by income or social isolation. In low-income communities, the Y offers opportunities for every child, teen or adult to achieve his or her potential regardless of economic status. With your help, the Y can continue to expand programming and outreach where it is needed most. Please consider volunteering your time, making a contribution, or sharing your story of the Y’s impact.
