YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF RYE NEW YORK

Social Responsibility: For 110 years, the Rye Y has been a hub of community life and a catalyst for positive change. Our mission takes us outside the walls of the Y, into schools, senior centers, town halls and houses of worship. We offer members of all ages the opportunity to make a difference through community service. We bring hope to cancer survivors and help at-risk adults face chronic disease head-on. We teach children drowning prevention skills through our free Safety Around Water class. We do all this and more while keeping a powerful promise to the communities we serve: no-one will be turned away from a Y program or activity because they can't pay. We awarded $504,766 in camp, child care, membership and program scholarships to 615 families and individuals We expanded and refreshed our lobby at Locust Ave to increase opportunities to socialization and address the epidemic of loneliness. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CON'T) This spirit of social responsibility infuses every aspect of our work, from the partnerships that foster strong communities to the small group programs that promote health and well-being.

Healthy Living: The Rye Y offers many opportunities for members to pursue their health and wellness goals. Our main facility houses a 3,800-sq.ft fitness center, a 6,800 sq.-ft. gymnasium and two pools. Here members can work with a personal trainer, take aquatics classes, swim laps, play basketball, work out, and more. Many of our programs are also open to non-members. Since 2011, we have run LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a 12-week small group program for adult cancer survivors that is free and open to the community. We added 3,0000 sq ft to the Christopher D. Mello Fitness Center to increase access to wellness space and support healthy living . HEALTHY LIVING (CON'T) The Studios at the Rye YMCA is a vibrant, state-of-the-art facility with studios for yoga, Pilates, indoor cycling, High Intensity Interval Training, and more. By the end of the year, we were running 130 group exercise classes per week at the Y Studios. The Y holds senior health fairs, offers evidence-based community health programs and offers a gathering space for area non-profits in the Studios.
