NYC is Counting on Us

The Y is an open door to education, wellness, and brighter futures for over 300,000 New Yorkers—and counting. Your support ensures our services and free community programs remain accessible to our NYC neighbors.

Empower Future Leaders

Attending a 4-year college is the strongest driver to break the cycle of poverty, and our free Y Teen Programs give NYC teens the tools to reach this life-changing milestone. 94% of our Y Teen Program participants graduate high school on time (10% higher rate than the city average) and nearly all enroll in college.

Nurture the Next Generation

New York City families are facing a cost-of-living crisis, driven in large part by the cost of childcare. Our free Y afterschool programs relieve this financial burden, providing crucial childcare for working parents, while serving thousands of kids each year with imaginative, fun, educational afterschool programs.

Uplift Your Newest Neighbors

NYC is a home for immigrants and asylum-seekers coming to America in search of a better life. The Y is proud to provide free social services connecting newcomers with legal support, housing assistance, English language classes, and job training programs.

Save Lives with Water Safety

NYC is surrounded by water, but unequal access to water safety skills can lead to tragic, preventable drowning deaths. The Y not only provides free life-saving swim and water safety lessons, we’re working to solve NYC’s lifeguard shortage with our free lifeguard training program.
