OUR 5 AREAS OF IMPACT

Inspire Youth to Thrive

Through a variety of programs designed to spark real change in our youth, we believe we positively impact children in ways no other organization can. From ensuring younger children are set for success, college and career preparedness, to teaching the art of global diplomacy, we are elevating how youth see themselves and what they can accomplish.
End Isolation

Isolation and loneliness are enduring issues that have been magnified by the pandemic. That’s why the Y continues to unite neighborhoods and to build meaningful human relationships for seniors, teens and at-risk individuals through initiatives such as senior well-being calls, virtual engagement, and teen opportunities.
Fight Inequality

Inequality in our communities is a pressing and growing issue. Today, we are doing more than ever to reverse it through the Equity Innovation Center programs and services, the region’s first. It will provide citizens and corporations the education, resources, activities and more to affect real and personal change throughout our communities.
Remove Limits, Reimagine Opportunities

We strive to be an inclusive organization and to provide opportunities for all. Adaptive programs at the Y provide children and adults with physical limitations and other needs the chance to learn, grow and thrive in a safe, fun atmosphere.
Restore Hope & Wellbeing

We believe everyone deserves a certain quality of life and level of respect. Programs such as our Refugee Resettlement program, Immigration Legal Services and The Trafficked Persons Assistance Program are restoring hope and providing protection, education, jobs and mentorship to our community’s most vulnerable.
