These experiences help shape stronger individuals and brighter communities. Our youth programs are designed to develop values, skills, and relationships that lead to healthy choices, academic success, and lifelong well-being. From child care, arts and humanities, and youth sports to Youth in Government, Esports, water safety, day and overnight camps, specialty camps, and Camp Hope-our programs support the cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth of every participant. As the largest childcare provider in our community, the Y is proud to stand beside families. We ensure access for all by offering financial support-in 2025, over $1 million in assistance helped youth participants overcome financial barriers and experience the benefits of Y programs.Expenses $17,649,802 · revenue $17,999,309
