A new Y improves the community.
The Y has been part of Nashua's heritage for 122 years.
The Y was formed in 1887 when a group of Nashua churches came together to improve fellowship and education in the community.
The first building was constructed on Temple St. in 1912.
The Prospect St. facility has been a home away from home for many in the community since 1964.
Nashua is recognized as one of the best communities to live, in part, because of strong organizations like the Y.
Money Magazine has twice recognized Nashua as one of the best places to live in the US.
A new Y facility is aligned to Nashua's master plan to have strong community facilities, health resources, and the ability to attract new employers.
The Y serves as a community hub of activities and programs that support families, health and wellness.
Over 23,000 people in the local area participate in the Y.
The new Y is expected to serve an additional 4,500 participants from every walk of life.
The Y partners with over 40 school districts, non-profits, military branches, organizations and others, to enrich the overall quality of the area.
The Y employs over 200 people and has engaged hundreds as volunteers.
The Y supports families - the backbone of any community - through diverse and affordable programs. No family is left out.
