Empowering Community
Economic inequality affects millions of individuals and families throughout the Chicagoland region and across the Midwest. Few organizations truly empower individuals to break the cycle of the wealth gap, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago aims to be the exception. Our work is more than support — we’re fostering genuine trust, independence, and accountability.
