Strengthening Community Beyond the Walls of the Y
At the YMCA of East Tennessee, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our Community Outreach programs extend the Y’s mission beyond fitness and recreation — meeting essential needs, empowering youth, and connecting individuals with resources that support long-term growth.
From feeding local families to mentoring youth, the Y’s outreach initiatives reflect our promise to strengthen spirit, mind, and body for all.
