Who We Are & What We Do

HEALTHY
LIVING
The Y promotes Healthy Living. We’re passionate about providing guidance and resources to help people maximize their health and prevent or live with chronic disease. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters community connections through fitness, sports and shared interests.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Y has been listening and responding to the needs of our neighbors for more than 75 years in Douglas County. Social Responsibility is central to who we are. Through outreach in underserved neighborhoods, connecting diverse demographic populations and building healthier communities with partners, the Y fosters care and respect for all.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Because we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, the Y is for Youth Development. Through the Y, thousands of local youth are learning the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement – right now and in the future.
