In 2020 we’re on a mission to develop a new generation of change-makers who will create communities we all want to work in. While our organization has changed a lot over the past few years, one constant is that we’re all at our best when we work together.
We’re proud to be your partners. Thank you for all you do every day to ensure the Y remains a vital community asset for all. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and safe holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year. Merry Christmas!
With Dignity and Respect,
