With 15 branches and two camps serving more than 90,000 members throughout southeastern Michigan (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Livingston counties).The Y is the nation's leading nonprofit dedicated to 3 broad core focus areas: YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen. It is our belief that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why, through the Y, youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to the avoidance of risky behaviors, better health and educational achievement. HEALTHY LIVING: Improving southeast Michigan's health and well-being. In communities across southeast Michigan, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together while encouraging good health and nutrition. We foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, thousands of youth, adults and families receive the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, preventing chronic disease or building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers. The Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. Through the collective impact of Y’s across the state, over 300,000 volunteers and donors, leaders and partners across Michigan are encouraged to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.
