IN THE NEWS

Rye Y Teens Step Up for Summer Campers

Every year, Rye Y staff members, from the part-time swim instructors to the CEO, donate to the Y’s Annual Campaign. Their charitable contributions, combined with gifts from community donors, fund the Y Cares Financial Assistance Program, which provides camp, child care, program and membership subsidies for those in need.

Some of the most meaningful donations come from the Y’s teenage camp counselors. Read more.

Keeping the Rye Y's Air Healthy

Robert Maxwell, Rye Y's Facility Manager, is on the Y's rooftop holding a MERV-13 air filter, which is installed on all the rooftop units. The air filter captures extremely small air particles and can help reduce the spread of COVID-19. In addition to filtering, the new Y Studios features a UV light sanitizing system installed in all of the studios. UV light kills viruses, bacteria and mold spores.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Become a Togetherhood Committee Member!

If you share our passion for community service, consider joining the Rye Y’s Togetherhood Committee!

Each year, the Togetherhood Committee identifies, plans and implements at least four community service projects. Along the way, they create friendships, build new partnerships and make a real difference outside the walls of the Y.
