Our members and friends call us THEIR Y. We call them OUR greatest resource - the HUNDREDS of people who work alongside us and support our work to help our neighbors learn, grow, and thrive.

WERE MORE THAN YOU KNOW. WERE A CAUSE.

What if we could harness all of that power to make an even greater difference on a bigger scale? With programs from A to Z - like athletics to advocacy, dance classes to disease prevention, volleyball to volunteerism - we dont just strengthen individuals, we strengthen our community. Yet there is so much more to do. The Great Lakes Bay Region faces new challenges that create a greater need for the work we do. Fortunately, where some see obstacles, we see opportunities for our members, volunteers, staff, and generous donors like you to make a difference. No other organization can impact as many people as powerfully as we do every day.

Every gift makes a difference. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we can achieve so much more.
