At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn grow and thrive.
We're more than a gym. We're a cause.
The Y is a charity, dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With programs from A to Z - like athletics to advocacy, dance classes to disease prevention, volleyball to volunteerism - we don't just strengthen individuals, we strengthen an entire community.
Every day, we take on challenges that will shape our community's future - challenges like the academic achievement gap, obesity and social isolation. Together with our members, volunteers, donors and community partners, we make our community stronger by focusing on three philanthropic priorities:
- Driving academic achievement and inspiring kids to reach their greatest potential
- Tackling our community's greatest health challenges and improving quality of life
- Ensuring access and inclusion so that everyone has a chance to succeed and belong
Our Mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Everyone is welcome at the Y. Our pricing model - My Y Pricing - is simple, easy-to-understand and puts Y membership in everyone's reach.
