"The Athens YMCA is not a gym, it's a GEM."

- Ben Fender, Former Youth Staff

 

The Athens YMCA has launched a multi-year capital campaign to continue to be a pillar of strength for our community and beyond.

The Building Community Campaign will seek funding to upgrade our services, as well as, repurpose square footage to better welcome and serve more people who need a place to feel a sense of belonging and facilitate growth. 

Building Community Campaign will enable us to:

• Increase the number of people in adaptive programs
• Increase the max capacity for our child watch center during heavily trafficked times
• Clear waiting lists for our youth programs
• Enhance our efforts to tackle chronic diseases
• Ensure there is enough space and equipment for individuals of all abilities to use while they strive to reach their wellness goals 
• And MORE!

Join us in BUILDING, SERVING, and TRANSFORMING our community!

BUILD a facility that will accomodate members from infants in the child watch center to active seniors in low-impact classes. 

SERVE all by providing opportunities to build relationships, reach their wellness goals, participate in programs, and engage in community service activities.

TRANSFORM the Y into a place that is accessible and available to every person in the communities we serve.
