GROWING UP AT the Y “As a single, full-time employed, enrolled in six credit-hours a semester mom, I just want to say that I don’t know what I would ever do without the YMCA and all of the incredible pro-grams they have for my daughter! She comes to the Y every day after school and almost all of the summer camps. If it weren’t for the Y, I don’t know where she could or would go. She has been coming here since she was 2 and she turned 7 in May. That’s five years of growing up at the Y! Every day she learns and grows.”
