Annual Impact Report

Forward Together: A Year of Impact, Innovation & Community 

In 2024, the YMCA of Metro Chicago advanced with purpose—bringing bold ideas to life, expanding access to vital services, and deepening our connection to the communities we serve. Our latest Impact Report reflects this movement forward. From launching our community hub and camp model to broadening our reach in early learning, youth development, and mental wellness, every initiative fueled greater connection and lasting change. As we look ahead, we remain grounded in our mission to connect people to their purpose, potential, and one another.
