Growing Stronger Together
The Rye Y has embarked on a capital campaign to raise $1.2 million of the projected $1.6 million costs to complete the Y Studios and the Early Learning Center. So far, we have received over $975,000 in pledges. We’re very excited to be so close to our goal but need your help to cross the finish line.

Please consider a gift to the Y’s Growing Stronger Together capital campaign. There are many ways to give and many ways for your generosity to be recognized, including buying a tile which will be displayed in the new facility. To support the campaign or to learn more, click here. Thank you in advance for your support.

Parking lot maintenance will occur September 2-6. During this time a section or the entire lot will be closed.

Parking Safety
Please be mindful that Mead Place is a residential neighborhood. We encourage members to park in the YMCA lot to ensure the safety of the residents who live there, and to abide by the various parking restrictions on the neighboring streets around the YMCA (e.g., one side of the street parking on Mead).
There is no left turn out of the Y lot and no right turn into the lot from residential part of Mead Place. Signage reflecting this is clearly in place.
