A commitment to healthy living is strengthened by dedicated partnerships. We are so thankful for the support that St. Joseph's Health - Syracuse, NY Community Health & Wellbeing Program has made to uplift our healthy living initiatives. Thanks to their generous $5,000 donation, we have been able to provide blood pressure monitors to members of our community who might not be able to access them otherwise, removing a barrier and changing lives for the better.

You can learn more about our community health initiatives, including our Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program, on our website: ymcacny.org

Michael Borsz is the Director of Athletics at Onondaga Community College and he recently shared some thoughts with us about how important Child Watch Plus at the Y has been to the student community at the college.

For Lights On Afterschool, our kids shared what they love most about their time at the Y. From friendships and fun to learning and trying new things, their answers remind us why afterschool matters!

We’re proud to provide a place where kids can learn, grow, build connections and shine bright every day. 💡
