Community Outreach

 

Our mission doesn’t live in a building. It’s far too big and too important to be confined to just one place. Day in and day out, we’re out there, in the community, helping kids and families, one at a time.

 

We’re spending quite a bit of time in our growing Latino community, bridging cultural differences, welcoming them to the Y family and giving them a place to belong.

 

It’s not easy and we could sure use your support, but it’s easily, some of the most important work we do.

 

The Buehler Y at the Palatine Opportunity Center provides:

 

• After-school programs for children in need
• A safe haven from gang activity
• Year-round recreation despite the lack of open green space (yes, we’re creative)
• Summer day camp for 150 kids
• Sports mini-clinics
• Mentoring opportunities
• Character-development programs
