Our 2030 Strategic Plan is built around three simple but powerful outcomes:
Every child and teen is resilient. Everyone is healthier. No one is lonely.
These outcomes are the true measure of success, showing whether our programs, partnerships and investments are creating lasting impact. When taken together, they paint a bigger picture: from childhood through every stage of life, the Y is here to strengthen people and communities. That’s what it means to say:
To get there, our Vision 2030 plan is guided by six strategic priorities:

Community Health & Well-being
Positively impact social determinants of health in our service area.
