Our Commitment to Diversity 

The Y is made up of people of all ages, from all walks of life, working side-by-side to strengthen communities. Together, we strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
