ANNUAL REPORT
ANNUAL REPORT
175 years strong! Celebrating our past, present and future! Here is a highlight of our impact in 2025.
For 175 years, the YMCA has been more than a place — it has been a promise.
In 2026, as we celebrate this national milestone under the theme No Place Like This Place, we proudly reflect on the impact made possible in 2025 — a year that demonstrated the strength, relevance, and resilience of our mission in action. While this anniversary invites us to honor our history, this annual report highlights the difference your support helped create right here and right now.
From our founding as a faith-based movement focused on nurturing mind, body, and spirit, the Y has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of those we serve. In 2025, that commitment came to life through expanded access to youth programs, life-changing wellness initiatives, and vital community partnerships that strengthened families and neighbors across our region. Each statistic within these pages represents a story — a child gaining confidence, a senior finding connection, a family discovering stability.
Today, the Y remains a gathering place, a support system, and a catalyst for growth — where children discover their potential, families build lasting connections, and neighbors unite around shared purpose. The impact achieved in 2025 is not separate from our 175-year legacy; it is the living continuation of it.
There truly is no place like the Y. It is where belonging is felt, opportunities are created, and lives are transformed. As we celebrate 175 years of national impact, we do so by recognizing the meaningful progress made this past year and recommitting ourselves to the future ahead. Together, we will continue creating opportunities for all to thrive — strengthening individuals, uplifting families, and building communities that endure for generations to come.
