Areas of Focus & Community Impact
The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That's why we focus our work in three areas:
Youth Development
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
Nine million youth are taking a greater interest in learning; making smarter life choices; and cultivating the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, the pursuit of higher education and goal achievement.
Healthy Living
Improving the nation’s health and well-being.
Millions of adults and youth receive the support, guidance, and resources needed to achieve better health and well-being.
Social Responsibility
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
Across the country, the Y helps people give back and assist their neighbors by offering them opportunities to volunteer, advocate and support programs that strengthen the community.
