The SER YMCA is a partner within a Purpose Built Community lead by our community quarterback the Southeast Raleigh Promise. The mission for our Purpose Built Community is to end intergenerational poverty within the neighborhoods that comprise the Rock Quarry Road Corridor in Raleigh.
Each quarter, we assess our impact initiatives done through our YMCA and partners in the community. It is essential that our work correlate with our five Purpose Built Pillars: Health & Wellness, Cradle-to-Career Education, Mixed-Income Housing, Leadership Development, and Economic Opportunity.
