• A New Look For The Y

    If you're returning to our website, you may noticed a few things have changed.  We are constantly receiving feedback from our members and try to create the best user experience possible.  We appreciate your patience during this transition.

    If you’re already a Y member

    Please look for the new MEMBER AREA section. The changes you see are in response to your request for a more focused website that has easier navigation. While our website upgrade is a work on progress, it is our sincere hope that you find these changes helpful, and that you consider our website as your health and wellness resource.

    About our new Y logo
    As you can see, our logo has a new style and color. We made this change as a simple yet effective way to illustrate that it’s a new day at the Y.

    Why? The new look is the first step in our efforts to better tell the Y story because we do lot of good work helping people in our community, but many of our friends and neighbors don’t know it. And if people don’t know about the good work we do, they won’t consider joining the Y, volunteering at the Y, and giving to the Y. We need to change that.

    Building a stronger community benefits everyone. You never know where life will take you, and
    someday you may need our help too, or you may send a loved one our way.

    We stand for your values

    When you see our new logo, you’ll also see that we’re For Youth Development, For Healthy Living and For Social Responsibility. These are our key areas of focus as we work to strengthen our community, one child, one family, and one adult at a time. Please join us.
