GRATEFUL EVERY DAY

THE Y THANKS ELECTED OFFICIALS AND AGENCIES FOR THEIR SUPPORT

In recent years the Y has counted on government leaders more than ever to help us serve the most vulnerable families in our communities. Thanks to New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and members of the New York State Assembly and New York State Senate, the Y has received support for program operations, youth services, and swim instruction.

New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and the New York City Council have also stepped in to support Y Afterschool, Teens Take the City, aquatics, opioid prevention and treatment, Asian American Pacific Islander services, a range of youth programs, and operations in key locations serving vulnerable communities.

At the Y we show our gratitude by channeling that support into positive impacts. In 2022, the Y employed 2,584 youth, helped 14,600 people learn to swim and develop water safety skills, and distributed 466,000 pounds of food, among other things.•
