Meet the Yonkers YMCA PeaceMobile
The Yonkers YMCA PeaceMobile endeavors to promote a vision both simple and profound: to mitigate gun violence by offering positive alternatives, foster community cohesion through collaborative partnerships addressing violence as both a public and mental health concern, support the well-being of families affected by violence, empower emerging leaders to enact change within their communities, and establish safe havens for those affected or targeted by violence; to find refuge and support.
"The PeaceMobile stands as a beacon of hope, offering vital services to communities grappling with trauma and conflict.Through therapeutic wellness programs, conflict resolution strategies, and healing practices, we aspire to cultivate environments of resilience and tranquility. Our mission is to create a safe haven where all individuals can find peace and solidarity."
