The Y, for the past 150 years, has been working alongside our neighbors to strengthen our community by bringing people together like no other organization can by fostering health and well being, nurturing the potential of every kid and providing mutual support for everyone in our neighborhoods, regardless of age, income or background.

• Our award winning early care & education, as well as our school-age centers,  promote physical, educational, emotional and social growth for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children.  Twenty-three locations throughout Erie County instill character values, teach social skills, and encourage play.

• We nurture life lessons for children and teens through a variety of creative youth programs, including sports, swimming lessons and day camps.

• We help the adults in our community develop skills and relationships to be healthy, confident and connected to others through a wide variety of classes, activities and social hours.

We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. Please join us.
