Y-Affiliated Student Organizations
.png)
We support student organizations.
We respect, celebrate, and invest in student-led organizations that are seeking to create positive change that is consistent with our mission. We find ways to enable students to put their values into action.
We connect student organizations and leaders with our dedicated staff team, who can assist with organizational development, fundraising strategies, and linking with students with similar interests.
We encourage students to take risks, press forward with innovative program ideas, and focus on self-care so that they can bring their best to whatever goals they've set.
We believe that skills in leadership, advocacy, and activism are best honed in a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment like the University YMCA.
We invite you to explore whether affiliation is a smart strategy for your group.
