YMCAs in the state of Rhode Island are committed to working together advocating legislation supporting the development of Strong Kids, Strong Families and Strong Communities. Rhode Island YMCAs are particularly focused on the issue of quality, safe, and affordable child care for all who need it. Additionally, YMCAs in the state are concerned with the growing number of sedentary children. We know that inactivity leads to young people becoming overweight and obese. Rhode Island Ys are working hard to provide educational and program activities aimed at helping young people make better food choices and lead more active lives.
