“ I was a Y kid from a lower-income single-parent household , supported through the financial assistance program to attend afterschool and camp programs . It gave my siblings and me an incredible chance to be influenced by positive adult role models . To now have the opportunity to give back , alongside inspiring leaders , to the same mission that shaped me and provided such wonderful experiences , is the greatest privilege .”
MISSION : To put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit , mind and body for all .
