Our Mission: Partners with Youth
The Partners with Youth campaign is about breaking down barriers so that all children can access life-changing programs at the YMCA. We know that when kids have access to the right resources—whether it’s affordable childcare, safe spaces for learning, or opportunities to build confidence—they have the foundation they need to succeed.
By raising funds to support scholarships, childcare, mentorship, and educational opportunities, we are making a lasting investment in the future of our community.
Why the Y? A Legacy of Community Impact
For generations, the Somerville Y has been a pillar of support for our community. We’ve been here through the good times and the challenging ones, always committed to providing the life-changing programs and safe spaces that our youth need to succeed.
Our commitment to our community remains as strong as ever. Whether it’s offering scholarships to families in need or creating leadership opportunities for teens, we’re here to ensure that every child has the opportunity to Find Their Y and grow into their best selves.
