About Us

Our Vision

Established in 1917, the YM&YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood (the Y) is Northern Manhattan’s premier Jewish community center — serving an ethnically and socio-economically diverse constituency — improving the quality of life for people of all ages through critical social services and innovative programs in health, wellness, education, and social justice, while promoting diversity and inclusion, and caring for those in need.

Everyone is welcome at the Y.

We are a community of hope and care, fostering a better quality of life. We support people in need, connecting people with critical services for all stages of life. We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and preferences, while nurturing the mind, body, and spirit.
