Elizabeth, NJ, January 07, 2014 --(PR.com)-- When dealing with life’s daily demands, people need a place to go where they can feel supported and receive help in trying times. The Gateway Family YMCA is a place where adults can find life balance; children can reach their full potential; seniors can be active and find camaraderie; and families can connect and strengthen relationships. By becoming involved with The Gateway Family YMCA, individuals have the opportunity to improve their health and well-being and connect with the community, all while participating in their favorite program or activity at the Y.

“The Gateway Family YMCA is an organization that is dedicated to helping individuals achieve a balance of spirit, mind and body,” said Krystal R. Canady, CEO, “We encourage everyone to get involved by joining the Y where they can take advantage of the resources and support to be healthy and connected.”

As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y seeks to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has an opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. To help more people benefit from the Y, The Gateway Family YMCA has adjusted the membership rate structure, provided access to all four branches with one membership fee, increased the age of children included within family members, and expanded programming for all ages, throughout all branches in Elizabeth, Rahway and Union.

The Gateway Family YMCA offers a variety of programs to help achieve greater health and well-being, nurture youth and inspire individuals to give back to better their community.

The Y is more than a gym. It’s a cause. The Gateway Family YMCA impacts the community by providing quality services to people of all ages, races, faith or incomes.
