The funding provided by NMTC in 2019 allowed the YMCA to build a 64,000 SF community center in the historically black community. The YMCA opened in May 2022 and today is serving over 800 people daily with preschool education, college education with our partner Broward College, youth sports, after school, adult wellness, senior wellness and activities, providing health care and education. and over 50 jobs for local residents. The area is being revitalized with improved housing and services. With NMTC, the YMCA was able to not only bring hope but action and results for the benefit of a high risk area of Fort Lauderdale.
