At the YMCA, our mission extends far beyond our doors — it reaches into communities, classrooms, playgrounds, and statehouses. To truly make an impact, we need YOUR voice.
Every day, YMCAs support families, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for people of all ages. But the policies that affect our ability to serve are shaped by lawmakers — and they need to hear from us.
