WHERE THERE’S A Y, THERE’S A WAY.

At the Duneland Family YMCA, we believe in the power of community. Every day, we create opportunities for individuals and families to grow stronger – physically, mentally, and emotionally. From early learning programs to health initiatives, youth sports to senior fitness, we are here to ensure everyone has the resources they need to thrive. But we can’t do it alone.

Your support makes it possible for us to remove barriers and open doors. It funds scholarships for families in need, enables after-school care for working parents, and keeps our facilities accessible for everyone, regardless of their financial situation. When you give to the Y, you empower your neighbors to achieve their fullest potential.

Where there’s a Y, there’s a WAY – to build stronger families, a healthier community, and a brighter future.

JOIN US IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

WHY IT MATTERS

Together, we can create a community where every child learns to swim, every senior finds companionship, and every individual discovers the confidence to tackle life’s challenges.

WHAT'S YOUR WHY?

Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Strengthening community is our cause.

The Y is here for youth development, for healthy living, and for social responsibility. Our programs nurture potential, improve health and educate youth, both on our campus and beyond our doors. The Duneland Family YMCA has made a promise to our community that everyone has the opportunity to participate regardless of the ability to pay. Where there’s a Y, there’s a WAY.
