Find Your Y

As a not-for-profit organization, the Y is dedicated to strengthening community with a focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. At FSPY, we believe we have something special – a sense of community – where everyone has the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. Every day, we are inspired by our community – our members, staff, volunteers and donors – working together, side-by-side to bring about lasting personal and social growth. Read their stories here.

Meet Karen, one of our awesome Y members who wanted to try something new and participated in our Spring Challenge

Meet Terrine one of our Swim Team parent volunteers

“On the Swim Team, we can’t run any meet without parent volunteers. The parent volunteers are the backbone of the team. But as much as we need to put in, we definitely get back so much more.”

Meet Laventer and Zuma, two of our newest Y members who are visiting from Kenya as they train in the sport of curling

Meet Sunitha, one of our newer members who is happy to have found a welcoming, supportive community at our Y

“I moved to this area in 2019, three months before the pandemic started. I was starting to get to know my neighbors and the neighborhoods a bit and then March came and everything went into lockdown.”

Meet Mei, a longtime member of our Y who recently joined the Togetherhood Committee

“We joined the Y not long after our son was born in 2005. We started my son in swim classes when he was very young, and then the Y turned into a place for our whole family.”
