Social Responsibility

Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
We know that when we work as one,we move people and communities forward.
That's why we are committed to providing support to our neighbors and opportunities
for kids, adults and families to give, join in or advocate in the name of stronger communities.

Community Services
At the Y, building a strong community begins at home. Our Y helps young people develop
cultural competencies, diverse populations connect to the community, and individuals
gain access to life-changing resources and support. As an interconnected community
network, the Y has the resources and solutions to build bridges and make our changing
communities stronger.

Social Services
To bring about meaningful change, people need ongoing encouragement and tools. We're
here day-in and day-out to provide the resources our communities need to address the
most pressing social issues, including child welfare, education and public health. We work
to make sure every child, family and community has what they need to achieve their best.

Volunteering and Giving
The generosity of others is at the core of our existence. It is only through the support of
our thousands of volunteers and public and private donors that we are able to give back to
the communities we serve.

Advocacy
We are a powerful ally and advocate for our communities. Our experience and strong
relationships in neighborhoods across New Britain and Berlin mean that we are able to
organize grassroots efforts and influence public policy around a range of social issues,
including child welfare, education and public health.
