Your Future
is Counting on You

Make Your Retirement Dreams a Reality

The YMCA Retirement Fund—Y Retirement for short—was founded by Y employees for Y employees. We understand the importance of the work you do serving the community, and we want to make sure that your hard work comes full circle in retirement.  

Your Future

Whether you’re just starting your career at the Y, or you’re getting ready to hang up your whistle and tennis shoes, we’re here to help you plan for what’s to come! 

One Fund, Two Plans

One Fund, Two Plans

Y Retirement has two plans to help you reach your retirement goals. Start saving immediately in the 403(b) Savings Plan and then when you’re eligible, you’ll be enrolled in the 401(a) Retirement Plan.

A Lifelong Benefit

A Lifelong Benefit

When you’re ready to retire, turn your savings into monthly payments for the rest of your life. We call it lifetime income and it’s pretty unique!

Learning for Every Stage

Learning for Every Stage

You may have questions and that’s OK! Check out our Learning Center for helpful videos and access resources that explain the ins and outs of the benefit.

The Magic of Compound Interest

Your Y Retirement savings are growing every day with daily compound interest. That’s interest on your contributions, and then the interest earns interest, and that interest earns interest, and… you get the idea.
