POWERED BY COMMUNITY

When you advocate for the Y, you join a diverse movement committed to supporting and serving our community through promoting youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Advocate with the Y
Believing that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, deserves to be healthy, confident, connected and secure, the Y is a powerful ally and advocate for our communities.
With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y collaborates with community leaders and policymakers to increase the resources and support that empower individuals, families and communities to learn, grow and thrive.

As an advocate of the Y, you can help:

• Influence policies and initiatives that help youth develop healthy behaviors, values and life skills
• Initiate and cultivate community collaborations to increase the skills, values and opportunities youth need to become responsible adult citizens
• Positively impact societal issues of importance to your community

The Y is a nonprofit like no other. Advocate in support of a movement working every day to build healthier communities.
