Support your favorite third place!
At the Y, we believe we are the best third place in our community. Your first place is home, your second place is typically work, and your third place is where you go to socialize and build friendships. We bring together friends and neighbors, build relationships, and connect people from diverse backgrounds for engagement, combating the epidemic of loneliness.
We are dedicated to being that third place for you—a place where you can connect, grow, and thrive. From group exercise classes, family programming, and sports leagues to community events and volunteer opportunities, we provide numerous ways for you to engage and build meaningful relationships.
Our members and friends come together to ensure this beloved third place in our community is accessible for ALL—It's just what we do. Please join us and give a gift to YOUR favorite third place today. Know that your investment will directly impact Y's ability to meet community needs.
