Community Needs Assessment

Published On: September 8, 2025Categories: Uncategorized

We are listening.

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. The Y has listened and responded to communities’ most pressing critical social needs since our founding in 1844.

Periodically, we conduct a Community Needs Assessment to ensure that our YMCA, along with our community partners, understand what critical social needs exist here at home in the greater Arlington-Mansfield service area.  Our goal is to take what we learn through this process and create a plan to improve the lives of everyone we possibly can.

To be successful, we need your help!  We don’t hire outside consultants.  Our YMCA Community Needs Assessment is unique in that we enlist the help of hundreds of local volunteers to help lead and participate in the process.  We rely on those individuals that understand and care about our community – and we hope this includes you!

There are several ways to participate!
