Young Mens Christian Assoc & Womans Community Center Of Rome New York

Healthy living: the y is committed to improving americas health and well-being, community by community. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, many people in our communities are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with chronic disease and obesity, families wrestle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2018 we provided over 400,000 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

Social responsibility: the ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our communitys most critical social needs for more than 100 years. Y programs, such as youth and teen nights, childhood obesity program, silver sneakers, and step programs are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2018, we engaged ymca members, participants, and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
