Investing in spaces that uplift health, youth development, and community well-being

From enhancing wellness spaces to updating youth program areas, every project strengthens our ability to support healthy living, learning, and connection. These investments ensure that every child, family, and neighbor has access to safe, welcoming spaces built for growth—today and for generations ahead.

Each capital priority reflects real needs within the communities we serve. Whether increasing program capacity, modernizing equipment, or improving accessibility, these projects are shaped by ongoing feedback from members, families, and staff. With your support, we can create environments that offer more opportunities for youth development, expanded wellness options, and stronger social connection.
