The Y has a long history of welcoming and engaging immigrants – from launching the nation’s first English as a Second Language class in 1856 to providing aid to thousands of new arrivals at Ellis and Angel Islands in the early 1900s.
We believed then as we do now, that offering our newest neighbors the support and care to thrive creates stronger, more connected communities for all.
Our commitment is evident every day at the New American Welcome Center at the duPont YMCA campus.
