Find Your Community! Find Your Y!
As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with gratitude and pride for all that we’ve accomplished together. This year has been a testament to the power of community, partnership, and purpose — values that have guided the YMCA of Long Island for over a century on Long Island. In 2024, we expanded access to critical programs and services across our branches. From teaching thousands of children lifesaving swim skills, to launching new youth sports clinics, to deepening our commitment to health and wellness for all ages and abilities, we remained focused on meeting the evolving needs of our diverse community. We’re especially proud of our continued investment in safe spaces for youth — including our day camps, enrichment programs, and teen leadership initiatives — where young people can build confidence, character, and connections. At the same time, we strengthened our support for seniors, families, and individuals navigating health challenges through programs like LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, fall prevention classes, and personalized wellness support. None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our donors, members, volunteers, partners, and staff. Your generosity and belief in our mission allow us to respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and reimagine what is possible for the communities we serve. Looking ahead, we are energized by the possibilities. As we continue to innovate, grow, and expand access to Y programs and services, we remain committed to creating lasting impact for generations to come. Thank you for being part of our YMCA family. Together, we are building stronger, healthier communities across Long Island.
With appreciation,
Anne N. Brigis, President & CEO
