LIVESTRONG®

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA fulfills the important need of supporting the increasing number of survivors who find themselves in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the shift to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to return to their normal life or their "new normal". The program is conducted outside of medical facilities to emphasize that LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is about health, not disease.

Youth & Government 

The program is open to 9th-12th graders in the community who have an interest in civic engagement. Through the existing Y-USA national program model, teens from across the state meet with other local YMCAs throughout the year to discuss and debate issues that affect citizens of the state and to propose mock legislation. The program culminates with the teens serving as delegates at the YMCA NJ Youth and Government State Conference with a pre-legislative session.

TOGETHERHOOD® PROGRAM

The YMCA of MEWSA is committed to supporting the communities we serve through the Togetherhood® Program. The Y has established committees to identify community needs and lead projects that help our members give back and support their neighbors.
