BEST OF WESTCHESTER WINNER

We are thrilled to announce that Westchester Magazine has named the Rye Y the "Best of Westchester Winner" in the Community Fitness Center category! Details

In October 2012, the Rye Y launched Voices of the Community: The Rye Y Story Project. Since then, 474 members, volunteers, program participants and staff have shared their Y experience during this annual event. We are now delighted to share a

10th Anniversary commemorative booklet, which features just a few of the collected stories. Click here or above to view.

Rye Y Story Project

Robin Jovanovich

I know a lot of friendships have been made —and revived — here.

When my husband, our two kids, and I moved from Florida to Rye 30 years ago this fall, we knew we wanted to join some kind of fitness center. The Y was the obvious choice because half of the people we met belonged! It was like the church we joined; we met people we really liked, and it was a warm and inviting place from day one. Read more

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Two Ways to Make a Difference This Summer!

The Rye Y will partner with The Sharing Shelf to collect the school supplies needed to fill 1,500 backpacks for children and teens so they can return to school prepared and confident.

Thursday, August 3 and Friday, August 4

The Rye Y’s Togetherhood Committee will once again team up with summer camp staff and families for our annual food drive for Bread of Life. For a list of needed items, drop-off locations, and information about how to volunteer stocking and organizing shelves at the pantry, click here.
