our focus

We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable.
At the Rochester Area Family YMCA, we measure the success of our cause by how well we engage communities in our three areas of focus.

OUR AREAS OF FOCUS

The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL

The Y is for everyone. Our programs, services and initiatives: enable kids to realize their potential, prepare teens for college, offer ways for families to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind and body, prepare people for employment, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster a nationwide service ethic. And that's just the beginning.

 

MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Rochester Area Family YMCA is a membership based organization. Becoming a member of the Y is much more than being a part of a swim and gym; you are a part of a movement, you are improving the community in which you live. Learn more about becoming a member of the Rochester Area Family YMCA....
