Helping thousands of people, all thanks to you

Not everyone gets the chance to learn, grow and thrive in a welcoming and inclusive environment. When you give to the YMCA, you are helping so many people get the support and the opportunities they need. Not only are you making a difference in the lives of these people, you are also helping your entire community. You are helping it become more healthy, inclusive and engaged. You are helping it become stronger.  

Here are the stories of Elijah, Clara, Enrico,Gessica, Lily, Karmin, Evans only a few of the thousands of people that we help thanks to your generosity.

"More than a youth program, a second family."

Your support gives young people who are going through a difficult time, a safe place to meet, build friendships, and grow together by simply being themselves.
"More than an inclusion program, a springboard for life."

Many children and adults suffer from exclusion. By supporting us, you make a huge difference that directly impacts children as well as the quality of life of entire families like Clara’s.
"I had another home to go to when I didn’t want to go home."

Their life paths are different, yet they have one thing in common - you offered them a welcoming place to forget about their problems and get the help they need.
"More than a TeenZone, a second family."

Within our TeenZones, we have amazing examples of involved, talented young people who will become extraordinary adults if they are simply given the chance.
