Join Us in Making and Impact
There is no other nonprofit quite like the Y. That's because, in neighborhoods across Chicagoland, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver, positive change.
The Y works every day to transform lives and communities. Amid the ongoing crisis of violence in Chicago, the Y provides leadership and initiatives that help make our neighborhoods safer. Based on growing bodies of research, we know that chronic exposure to traumatic stress places thousands of Chicago-area youth at risk of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep disturbance, and somatization. Left untreated, these symptoms can lead to the use of maladaptive coping mechanisms and behaviors such as drug use, academic failure, self-harm, bullying, gang involvement, incarceration, and premature death.
