A Place for All Program is our Y’s financial assistance program focused on helping our community members feel hopeful, live healthier and be connected to our organization through spirit, mind and body.
We are a charitable community service organization committed to enhancing the quality of life of our members and enriching the communities we serve through partnership and collaboration. We focus on nurturing kids and teens, improving people’s health and well-being, and giving back to our neighbors.
Dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, our mission is to provide programs and services to all regardless of ability to pay. We believe that every person should have an opportunity to participate and pursue their own personal goals regardless of skill or financial status. Generous donations to the Y’s Annual Campaign provide funds for financial assistance to those who may need support.
