The Y is Where Community Thrives

Everyone knows the Y as a place to camp, swim, or exercise, but we’re so much more. At the YMCA of Central New York, we’re working side-by-side with our neighbors to address critical community needs that help kids develop into smart, resilient adults, for people to improve their health and build a sense of community, and for our most vulnerable young people to get the care and support they need.

As a member, you not only have access to our facilities and programs, you are supporting your neighbors and strengthening your community!
