The nation's leading nonprofit, building and supporting our community.

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income and background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Anchored in neighborhoods of Butler County, the Y believes that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our community.

The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults, families and communities.

Our community is our primary focus

There is no other nonprofit quite like the Y. That’s because in 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation, we have the presence and partnerships not just to promise but to deliver lasting personal and social change.

• The Y brings people together. We connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.
• The Y nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
