Today’s kids are facing more stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges than ever before. From social pressures to academic struggles to the lingering effects of the pandemic, it’s easy for young people to feel overwhelmed and alone. At the YMCA, we believe every child deserves a safe space to be heard, to be seen, and to heal. Through caring mentors, positive role models, and programs that build confidence and resilience, the Y helps kids grow stronger—inside and out. When you give today, you’re not just funding a program—you’re showing a child they matter. And with a match from The Pittsburgh Foundation, your impact goes twice as far.

The YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh works 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. We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That's why, at the Y, strengthening the community is our cause.
