WHY WE ARE HEREFOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

All kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve under the guidance of adults who care about them and believe in their potential. We see every interaction with young people as an opportunity for learning and development.

FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Health and well-being are all about balance. That’s why we help people and families build and maintain healthy habits for spirit, mind and body in their everyday lives. By helping kids, adults, families and seniors from all backgrounds improve their health and well-being, we build a stronger community.

FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

With our doors open to all, we work every day to connect people from all backgrounds and support those who need us most. We take on the most urgent needs in our community and inspire a spirit of service in return. Our members, volunteers, supporters and staff demonstrate the power of what we can achieve by giving back together.

GIVE TODAYWe have an extraordinary opportunity to ensure a brighter future for Northern Middlesex County, but we must take action today, and only your support will make it possible.

When you give to the Middlesex Y, your gift will help young people achieve their potential, empower people of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of community in Northern Middlesex County.

Together, we’ll take on many of the greatest challenges facing our young people, our health and our community.

Now, when you think of your YMCA you’ll know it’s more than just a gym…it’s a cause. A cause, that, with your generous support, will continue to strengthen the community in which you live. GIVE. AND DO SO MUCH MORE. Please consider joining the Y’s Leadership Circle with a gift of $1,000 or more.

Your gifts will help the Middlesex Y provide over $300,000 worth of assistance to assure quality Y programs are accessible to all in our community.
