As the nation’s leading nonprofit, the Y brings together people of all backgrounds to create the relationships necessary for stronger, more connected communities. We uphold bridging, belonging, and global engagement as a cornerstone of our mission so people from all walks of life can achieve their potential.
We put our commitment into action by fostering a welcoming and respectful environment across all aspects of the Y experience. Through our various membership options, wide-ranging programs, community-focused events, and supportive financial assistance based on financial need, we strive to make participation accessible to all individuals and families.
Did you know that the Y is in 119 countries? Ys in the U.S. partner with Ys around the world to address important social issues. Through this strong global network, we harness our collective knowledge and resources to help people strengthen their communities.
At Summit Area YMCA, our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a platform for staff to connect, collaborate, and support each other. These groups foster inclusivity and belonging, helping employees engage in meaningful conversations, personal growth, and professional development.
