SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY

Your Y membership is saving lives and enhancing your community every day.

The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is a nonprofit organization serving its community and has been for more than 165 years. As a member of our Y, you are changing lives every day. While our branches conduct community benefit events and activities throughout the year, we also have year-round programs that are providing services to those struggling with homelessness and addiction and those leaving prison trying to rebuild their lives. Your membership dollars help support these four programs–Y-Haven, Open Door, Rising Hope and Careers Workforce Development. Learn more about them below.
