At the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago, we know that real change doesn’t stand still. It moves - with intention, with heart, and with the people who believe in a better future.
This year’s Impact Celebration - In Motion - is a tribute to the progress we’ve made together and the momentum we’re building for what’s next.
In 2025, we expanded access to mental health care, deepened youth engagement, and reimagined our community spaces to better serve every generation. These milestones weren’t just achievements - they were impact in action.
And you’ve been part of every step.
You’ve helped us open doors and break down barriers.
You’ve supported programs that uplift and empower.
You’ve kept our mission moving forward.
