Company Overview

The 92nd Street Y unites culture, education and community service in one multifaceted institution. Founded in 1874 by a group of visionary Jewish leaders, the Y has grown into an organization guided by Jewish principles but dedicated to serving people of all races and faiths. Its mission is to enrich the lives of the 300,000 people who visit its three locations each year. People come to the 92nd Street Y to attend performances of popular and classical music, jazz, American standards and contemporary dance; to hear renowned novelists, poets and playwrights read from their work; to explore the richness of Judaism with eminent scholars; and to listen to world leaders, public figures and experts in every field discuss timely issues. An extensive adult-education curriculum includes a full range of arts courses and offers New Yorkers the chance to learn and grow. Developmental programs help children, teenagers, new parents and families reach their full potential. And a comprehensive wellness program encompasses both a wide range of fitness activities and a unique health education initiative that brings the nation's leading healthcare professionals to the Y. Committed to sharing its programs with all New Yorkers regardless of economic circumstance, the 92nd Street Y provides over $1 million in annual financial assistance and outreach programs that bring the arts into the lives of 7,000 economically disadvantaged public elementary school children.
