Friends of the Y

The story of the YMCA of High Point is one of neighbors coming together to build a strong and vibrant community in High Point. 

The Friends of the Y Campaign is strengthening our community, one life at a time! We are always for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. At the Y, we are changing lives one at a time. We believe everyone belongs, and we believe in potential. When we work as one, we build a stronger community. Financial assistance keeps the Y available for kids, families and individuals who need us most. Every day, we work to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
