As a movement, the Y has been promoting civic engagement throughout its history. It is part of our mission and advances our cause of strengthening communities.

Voter registration and engagement provides the Y an opportunity to empower the people we serve, give them a voice in the issues that matter to them and build “social capital” in communities across the nation—in a totally nonpartisan way!

Y-USA has partnered with Nonprofit Vote to make engaging potential voters simple for YMCAs. We are here to help people register to vote and prepare to cast their ballots.
