At the YMCA, we see the strong bonds that are developed through our classes and programs. And this is the great promise of our work — to be the center of community where strong connections and friendships can flourish.

This month we are focusing on the theme 'Building Community.’ We’ll be celebrating our community — the foundation of the Y — by recognizing the people and groups that make our Y strong and help us thrive.

We invited our members to sit down and talk about the friendships they’ve made at the Y. As you’ll see, their stories are truly uplifting.
