170 Years Strong – A Place to Belong
It takes a village to raise a child. It takes the YMCA Norfolk community to raise a generation.
For 170 years, YMCA Norfolk has stood beside young people facing life’s toughest challenges. We’ve seen generations overcome adversity and go on to build lives filled with purpose, stability and hope.
Today, too many young people are facing homelessness, poor mental health, isolation and barriers to education and employment. These young people are our future.
No young person should have their future defined by the challenges they face today. That’s why we’re asking Norfolk to come together. Because every young person deserves the chance to belong, contribute and thrive.
