Every community needs a leader. Someone who brings people together. Who compels others to action. Who empowers every individual to be at his or her best. So that the community as a whole can grow stronger and better together. This community has the Y.

The Y is more than a gym or membership association. The Y is a coalition of men, women and children committed to the idea that our community can be better tomorrow than it is today. And together, we will make it that way by advancing the Y’s focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
