“I always take any opportunity to visit a local YMCA. The organization shares a valuable, wholesome vision with our youth and I am honored to take a chance to be a part of that,” said State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. “Most recently, I visited P.S. 197’s after-school YMCA program where students enjoyed participating in cultural and education activities. During the state budget negotiations, I intend to seek additional funding for more schools and students to benefit from the YMCA-sponsored programs.”
