SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY From the financial assistance that keeps the Y affordable for all, to the initiatives that foster stronger communities, the spirit of social responsibility infuses every aspect of our work. “My daughter Emma is very interested in doing good for the community. She asked me if we could volunteer for Earth Day and I am so glad we showed up. It was wonderful to see all the people and children helping make our public spaces beautiful. I loved spending time with her in such a meaningful way.” -Sarah, a Togetherhood volunteer
