  • This means a mom can have peace of mind at work knowing her child is in a safe child care setting.
  • This means a teen can attend summer camp, instead of hanging out unsupervised all summer while mom and/or dad are at work.
  • This means a family can come to the Y and experience quality, healthy family time together.

More than 88,000 different people participated in a variety of programs at six regional operations: Everett, Marysville, Monroe, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our Program Highlights show how many people are helped annually by program area.
