FIND OUR PATH FORWARD  |  2022-2024 Strategic Plan

The Y created our strategic plan by engaging a variety of voices to co-create the plan. Through their input and perspectives, 10 goals emerged. Theses goals are big and lofty and will require constant iteration so we formed six internal teams made up of organizational leaders, front line staff, and board members who will be adapting and shaping the work along the way. In this way we are working to design a new organizational structure and culture that allows us to adapt our approaches and innovate as needed.
