OUR MISSION:
I WANT
Teens: Our Future!
As goes the history of the Y, so goes our belief in the development of teens in our community. We want our teens to make a positive impact on their world through volunteerism and service and we want them to have fun while doing it. We also want to make sure that they keep a healthy lifestyle through our programs.
