🎉💙 Today, we’re celebrating the incredible people who make the Ridgewood YMCA feel like home!

At our recent Staff Service Awards, we had the joy of recognizing Alisson, Davon, and Martie for their years of dedicated service to the Y and our community. 🌟

Year after year, they show up with heart—welcoming our neighbors, supporting our families, cheering on our kids, and creating a place where everyone can feel like they belong. The relationships they’ve built and the lives they’ve touched are at the heart of what makes our Y so special.

Alisson, Davon, and Martie—THANK YOU! 💙 Your passion, commitment, and care have made a lasting difference for so many members of our Ridgewood community, and we couldn’t be more grateful to celebrate YOU!

Please join us in giving them a big round of applause for their incredible years of service! 👏🎉💐

Everyone deserves the chance to feel confident and safe in the water.
 
It was inspiring to welcome local leaders into the pool to take part lessons and also hear firsthand how access to swim education can change lives.
 
Every lesson helps build confidence, teaches lifesaving skills, and empowers New Yorkers to stay safe in and around the water.

Today is Lifeguard Appreciation Day! We celebrate the extraordinary individuals in our branches who do far more than watch the water. At the Y, lifeguards provide safety at our pools, welcoming New Yorkers of all ages to build skills, gain confidence, and have fun in a supportive environment 🏊

Ready to level up your incline dumbbell press technique? Staten Island Broadway YMCA fitness instructor Daniele is here to show you how to safely lift the weight and incorporate four-second negatives. The “negative” is the lowering phase of an exercise. When doing an incline dumbbell press, it’s when the dumbbells move from the top of the press back down toward your chest. This part of the lift is as important as the press itself—it’s one of the best ways to build strength, muscle, and control 💪

Find your Y and the routine that works for you with a supportive community to cheer you on through the link in our bio.

What does it mean to stand up for your community?

For Layla, a participant in our Teens Take the City (TTC) Youth Leadership Program, it starts with using your voice.

As Layla shares, if you care about your community, don’t be afraid to speak up about issues that matter. Civic engagement isn’t reserved for elected officials or community leaders. It starts with neighbors, young people, families, and everyday residents who care enough to get involved and advocate for the people around them.

At the YMCA of Greater New York, we believe strong communities are built from the ground up. Through programs like Teens Take the City, young people develop the confidence, knowledge, and leadership skills to become active participants in shaping their neighborhoods and creating positive change.

When we empower young people to raise their voices today, we’re helping build stronger, healthier communities for tomorrow.
