Y Champions Scholarship
The YMCA of Metro North is a diverse association of men, women, and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the 
potential of youth, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility in our community.
The Y Champions Scholarship supports active YMCA of Metro North employees who are high school seniors, in vocational training, or current college students. The YMCA is often a first job and a valuable training ground for lifeguards, camp counselors, and other roles that build leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. We invest in our employees by providing mentorship, skill development, and career growth opportunities that set them up for future success. This scholarship recognizes individuals who embody the YMCA’s core values—honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility—through their efforts to strengthen their community.
