McGaw YMCA

Our Cause Defines Us

We know that lasting personal and social change happens when we all work together. That’s why, at the McGaw 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 or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

• McGaw is community centered. Since 1885, we’ve been listening and responding to our community.
• McGaw brings peoples together. We connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.
• McGaw nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
