Corporate Membership

Healthy Employees Are Happy Employees

As the nation's leading nonprofit committed to strengthening the community, we work side by side with local agencies, corporations, and organizations to improve the quality of life for employees and their families. Studies show that a strong sense of belonging correlates with higher job performance, lower turnover, and fewer sick days, all of which lead to bottom-line benefits. (Harvard Business Review, Dec. 2019)

At the Y, we know that improving health and well-being boosts employee engagement and productivity. Health education, fitness assessment, service opportunities, and on-site fitness classes are just a few ways to connect staff to one another and to better health. We have been strengthening youth and families supporting active lifestyles and healthy aging, and building community resilience for 175 years.

Please contact Anna Marquez with any corporate membership questions: amarquez@theyonline.org
