Founded in 1852, today the Y serves a diverse population of more than 250,000 New Yorkers who learn, grow, and thrive through programs and services at our 24 branches. Community is the cornerstone of the Y. Together, we connect active, engaged New Yorkers to build stronger communities. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok at @ymcanyc.

Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) breaks the cycle of intergenerational poverty with comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that builds opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life.
