Naquan and Johnathan are both residents of the YMCA of Broome County. The Y has not only given them a safe place to live, but they both have been able to take advantage of employment opportunities with the Y as well.
Johnathan began living at the YMCA in October 2022 when he moved from Syracuse to Broome County.
“I feel like I’m part of something bigger,” Johnathan said. “Any time I meet someone, and they are in need, the first place I speak of is the YMCA.”
Naquan has been living at the YMCA since March 2023. He explained that being at the Y has also given him an outlet to volunteer and help others as well.
“I love this program and the help they provide,” Naquan said.
