At the YMCA of Central New York, we know that access matters. That’s why Y on the Fly is designed to meet people where they are: bringing engaging, high-quality programs directly into neighborhoods, schools, and community spaces across Central New York.
What is Y on the Fly?
Y on the Fly is our mobile outreach initiative that delivers YMCA programs beyond our branch walls. Whether it’s a park, school, community center, or special event, our team creates opportunities for youth, families, and individuals to connect, learn, and stay active.
Partner With Us
We collaborate with schools, municipalities, and community organizations to bring Y on the Fly to life. If you’re interested in hosting a program or event, we’d love to connect. Contact Community Outreach Coordinator Karinn Abraham via email.
Let’s work together to build stronger, healthier communities: wherever you are.
