After years away from sports, Hannah Little remembered how much she loved swimming. 🏊

Coming back was hard at first. At the Y, she found instructors who paid attention, offered adjustments, and helped her discover how much she could do. 💪

Then she started seeing the same faces every time she came in.

"Just knowing that we're all kind of here doing it together, it feels less lonely."

What began as getting moving again became a familiar part of her week, surrounded by people she recognized.

Your gift can help someone else find that support when they're ready to try again. 🌊

At 50, Mark Roby set a goal to run a half marathon. 🏃

Fifteen years after joining the Kent County Y, what he talks about most is the people who helped him along the way.

John has been Mark's trainer for more than a decade. Mark credits their strength training with helping him complete the miles, but over the years, John also became a close friend.

"It's the people that I've met and the experiences that I've had with those people. That's probably been the most important part of achieving those milestones."

Someone kept showing up for Mark. Your gift can help put that same steady support beside someone else's next goal.

If you've been part of the Greater Providence YMCA, chances are you have a Y story. ❤️
Maybe you learned to swim here. Maybe your child found confidence, your family found support, or you discovered a place where you truly belonged.

For 173 years, stories like these have been possible because someone chose to care.
Today, you can be the reason someone's Y story begins. Your gift helps children learn and grow, gives families access to programs they may not otherwise be able to afford, and helps people of all ages find connection and belonging.

Will you be the reason? Make your gift today and help create a Y story that lasts for generations.

As America marks its 250th anniversary and the YMCA celebrates 175 years nationwide, we’re proud to reflect on 173 years of serving our local community.

What began in 1853 as a single downtown space in Providence has expanded into six regional branches, camps, childcare, swim lessons, and wellness programs, now reaching nearly 30,000 neighbors every year across Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

While the needs of our communities have evolved over the decades, our core purpose remains unchanged: helping people live healthier, safer, and more connected lives while working to ensure that cost is never a barrier to belonging.

We’re honored to be featured in Providence Business News as part of its America250: Enduring Success series. Thank you to PBN for sharing our story, and to our neighbors for trusting us to be here for you today and for generations to come.
