Everyday, nearly 1,000 people come through its doors, reflecting the rich fabric of Central Queens that includes America-born Jews, Holocaust survivors, Israelis, immigrants from the Former Soviet Union and other local residents of diverse backgrounds. Drawn to the area by its affordable housing, shopping, transportation and safe streets; they are welcomed by its institutions and organizations, and come to the Y to stretch physically, culturally and intellectually: to enjoy being with others, and to find spiritual satisfaction and identity in sharing, learning and celebration.
