CONNECT AGAIN
65% of people experienced increased feelings of loneliness during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. We know that when our neighbors come together they live a longer life, experience better health and increased happiness. The Y makes accessible the support and opportunities for people to connect again in an environment that is inclusive and nurturing to the potential of every youth, teen, adult and senior regardless of their ability to pay.
