Welcome Dear Friend,

I've created this page in support of the inspiring impact of the Chestnut Street YMCA and YMCA Greater Louisville as a whole. Somewhat bias, the Chestnut Street YMCA has something truly special. Whether it's the nationally-recognized programs like “Black Achievers,” unlocking doors of opportunity for countless young lives, or “Love Notes”, profoundly shifting narratives and empowering youth confidence towards healthier relationships - quite frankly, this YMCA is breaking generational curses.

Having met the warm-hearted men of Chestnut's supportive housing, as well as the passionate staff of the Safe Place Shelter - pouring their everything into an invaluable refuge for youth facing crises, I humbly ask you to join me in amplifying the transformational impact spreading black joy and beyond throughout our community. Whether a $1 or $100 one-time gift, or a $5 monthly automatic contribution - every donation counts. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and generosity - it means the world.

With Gratitude,

Simone Sibley-McBride

Board Governance Committee Chair
