Young Mens Christian Assoc Of Greenwich

Membership - y membership is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen our community. The ymca of greenwich is dedicated to fostering personal growth and connection through environments and activities that embrace diversity and promote a healthy life balance. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. The y does not turn away anyone due to inability to pay, to expand upon this commitment; in 2013 the y launched our y for all membership program. The program is an income based sliding scale membership which makes the y more affordable to all. In 2024, we also provided $162,005 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate in the membership at the ymca of greenwich.

Youth development - the ymca of greenwich is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Our ymca programs, such as summer camp, childcare, competitive swimming, diving and water polo, swim lessons and youth sports, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for the young people we engage. In 2024, we provided $243,203 in financial assistance to young people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate. In addition to providing much needed care for working families, the y assisted in preparing each of these children for kindergarten.
