New Yorkers need the Y. That's why we need you. Your support offers the chance of a lifetime to the individuals and families who need us most. Give today to support a bigger, brighter future for NYC. Donate Now SUPPORT SPOTLIGHT: NEW AMERICANS INITIATIVE All Are Welcome For more than 100 years, New York City's YMCA has embraced immigrants, beginning with our settlement projects on Ellis Island in 1909 to the present day. Regardless of race, religion, country of origin, or circumstances that brought you here, we believe that all newcomers deserve a safe and supportive community. The Y's New Americans Initiative (NAI) is committed to actively raising the quality of life for every immigrant and refugee in NYC. We never turn anyone away—or inquire about immigration status. Our NAI centers provide free trauma-informed services and learning opportunities—such as legal resources, case management support, English literacy classes, citizenship preparation courses, and much more.
