Delivering Opportunity for Kids Who Need It Most

For Charlene and her son Hunter, the Y has been life-changing—giving Hunter access to swim lessons, sports, and even Camp Stephens, where he gained confidence and independence. As a single mother, Charlene is grateful for the support that allows her son to stay active, make friends, and feel like he belongs. “At the Y, he feels like he is part of something.”
