We share the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—everything we do stems from it. We know that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of children, improving the nation’s health and well-being and supporting our neighbors is a passionate, experienced and diverse array of staff, volunteers and members who value what everyone brings to the table. Working in communities across metro Atlanta makes strong diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging practices paramount for the Y. We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable.

On April 18th, together with State Farm, we unveiled the completely refurbished Dominique Wilkins Court at the Good Neighbor Gym at the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA in Southwest Atlanta. It will mark an extra special occasion as the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm’s 10th Good Neighbor Club reveal and court makeover. The Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA has been an important figure in Atlanta as a home for local high school kids, a center for voting, and a home for community impact. This unveiling celebrated the YMCA’s role in greater Atlanta and the story of these men who helped shape this community.
