Kind Words From Our Team

The Y is a welcoming place for the community I enjoy working here and love hearing about how the Y has played a role in the lives of everyone I meet at work and within the community.

A Cause Driven Culture

As a 501(c)3 charitable community organization, each of our staff and volunteers makes a difference in the lives of those we serve, every day. At the Y, we call this a cause-driven culture: the way we think, act and communicate directly builds our cause, to strengthen community. This starts with passionate, committed leaders at all levels of the organization, and leads to strong supportive teams, and significant opportunities for professional development and growth from within.
