HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITY
At the YMCA of Central & Northern Westchester, a common thread of caring, honesty, respect, and social responsibility weaves itself through all of our programs, staff, and participants. We pride ourselves on these four character traits and firmly believe our community is better because of our values. Our programs, including universal Pre-K, childcare, school-age programs, youth leadership, youth & government, and camp programs, enable children to realize their potential in a place where fun and learning go hand in hand.
Operating as a non-facility YMCA, we are unique in that we are solely based on programs run in schools and community spaces throughout Northern Westchester and Putnam Counties. This allows us to reach a wider audience and make a more significant impact on the lives of children and families in our community.
OUR MISSION
The YMCA of CNW is committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It is a charitable, not-for-profit organization that welcomes all people regardless of age, race religion, or economic status and strives to enrich each and every life through a unique, dynamic combination of programs that strengthens spirit, mind, and body.
OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement.

In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors
The Y has been listening and responding to our community’s most critical social needs for 160 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. Through the Y, 500,000 volunteers and thousands of donors, leaders, and partners across the country are empowering millions of people in the U.S. and around the world to be healthy, confident, connected, and secure.
