The Valley of the Sun YMCA’s impact is felt every day across Arizona.
At the Y, strengthening our community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
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 help kids, adults, and families from all walks of life reach their goals and contribute to solutions that improve communities.
