The Y provides opportunities that empower people in our community to learn, grow, and succeed. With a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y nurtures the potential of every child, helps improve health and well-being, and creates opportunities to give back and support our neighbors.
Our YMCA is more than a place, It’s a purpose. For 150 years we have adapted to meet the changing needs of our community. Last year, our members and friends raised over $550,000 to help children and families in our area . While memberships fund the Y, Your gift changes lives.
More Than a Place, a Purpose.
For the past 150 years the YMCA of Springfield has been dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults, families and communities. Every day our impact is felt when someone makes a healthy choice, a mentor inspires a child, and a community comes together for the common good.
Without volunteers, there could be no YMCA Youth activities or events. Our youth sports like soccer and basketball don’t happen without volunteer coaches and refs, and our events couldn’t succeed without your help. Last year we had the help of 1,506 volunteers who provided 17,079 hours of service to the Y.
