WHY WE’RE HEREFOR Nurturing the potential of every child and teenYOUTH We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and whatDEVELOPMENT they can achieve. That’s why, through the YMCA, millions of youth today are cultivating

the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

FOR Improving our community’s health and well-beingHEALTHY In neighborhoods across the five boroughs, the YMCA is a leading voice on healthLIVING and well-being. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and

fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, nearly 400,000 youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.

FOR Giving back and providing support to our neighborsSOCIAL The YMCA has been listening and responding to New York City’s most critical socialRESPONSIBILITY needs for 160 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through

education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.

We’re Here for Good. It’s been the signature phrase of New York City’s YMCA since early 2008, and it describes the Y’s commitment to building the foundations of—and strengthening—our communities, through nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving community health and well-being and providing opportunities to give back and support neighbors.

We’re here for you and your family. We’re here for the community. We’re here for good.
