Activate America

YMCA Activate America™ is the YMCA’s national initiative that is rallying YMCAs across the country to further assist kids, adults and families who are struggling to lead healthy lifestyles. In addition to supporting this population called health-seekers, the YMCA of Greater Providence is committed to promoting healthy living and is collaborating with other community partners to magnify their impact.

Priority populations
YMCA Activate America gives priority to:

  • Helping children and youth develop healthy habits.
  • Reaching a broader adult population. 
  • Serving racial, ethnic and low-income groups at greatest risk.


Core principles of YMCA Activate America
How we can help:

  • Take a more holistic approach to health.
  • Develop parallel program and public policy strategies.
  • Embrace collaboration as a core methodology.
