Strong Kids Fund

All proceeds from our special events go to the Strong Kids Fund. The YMCA Strong Kids Fund gives underserved youth and those with diverse abilities in our community a YMCA experience through membership, camps, sports, after-school learning programs, and activities at little or no cost.

Youth Sports at the Y

At the Y, youth sports such as flag football, soccer, volleyball, baseball and basketball leverage the excitement and passion around recreational and competitive programs. This creates a healthy outlet for children to gain new skills, develop a sense of team and connect with positive role models.
