As we reach the halfway point of 2026, YMCA of Greater Cleveland President and CEO Timothy Hilk reflects on the impact we're making together and the exciting opportunities ahead.

By Timothy Hilk, President & CEO, YMCA of Greater ClevelandWhy genuine human connection remains one of the strongest foundations for health, well-being, and belonging. Strong communities don't happen by accident. They are built one relationship at a time.

As summer comes to a close and calendars begin filling with school schedules, work commitments and family activities, August is the perfect time to make one important commitment—to yourself.

August is National Make a Will Month, an ideal time to create or update one of the most important documents you'll ever prepare. Yet despite its importance, more than 70% of American adults do not have a will or trust in place.

Looking for a job where you can make a difference every day? The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is hiring caring, enthusiastic people who want to strengthen our community while building rewarding careers.

As summer gives way to busier fall schedules, it can be challenging to find time for your health and wellness. That's why your YMCA membership includes YMCA360—a virtual wellness platform that helps you stay active anytime, anywhere.
