Y-GIG and The Foundation YMCA
Funding was provided from 2018 through 2023 as part of a multi-year strategic grant of $27.7 million to support the construction costs of the new YMCA along with the launch and initial operation of Y-GIG (Youth Gather, Interact & Grow) — an afterschool program for middle school youth in Wilson County.
Y-GiG offers enriching and engaging activities in five focus areas:
- Academics
- Arts and Humanities
- College and Careers
- Health and Wellness
- STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
Transportation for Y-GIG activities is provided from and back to the public middle schools in Wilson County.
