At the Y, we believe that everyone deserves a YMCA
experience, regardless of their financial circumstances.
For nearly 160 years, we have been committed to providing support to our
neighbors and creating opportunities for them in the name of stronger
community. Despite changing
times, the YMCA of Central Ohio has remained faithful to its mission of serving
the whole community through programs that nurture the potential of youth,
promote healthy living and foster a sense of social responsibility.
One of the ways we further our mission is through our People Helping People initiative. At the Y, no child, family
or adult is turned away. Recognizing
the increased financial challenges that many face in today’s economy, we work
side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone regardless of age,
income or background, has the opportunity to grow, learn and thrive. People Helping People provides financial assistance to help
individuals and families become more empowered with resources to improve their
lives, be healthier, confident and connected to their communities. People Helping People exists because of the generosity of
our members and the community. Contributing to People Helping People, along
with volunteering time and talent is an act of social responsibility.
With a presence in more than 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation and
a local presence in the Greater Columbus community, our impact is felt when an
individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a
community comes together for the common good. We
believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all
work together.

Helping People, please visit: www.ymcacolumbus.org
