What it reported doing in 2025

Youth and Teen Programming: Our Y has redirected our focus on creating an environment where youth and teens of all abilities are welcome. Programming is focused on skills that encourage youth and teens to build leadership skills, build friendships and achieve educational goals. Youth Sports: When you think of youth sports, chances are things like football, soccer, and basketball come to mind. But did you know that, at the Y, we teach a lot more than how to score a touchdown or make a layup? Y sports are the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active and developing healthy habits they'll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it is gaining confidence or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.
