About Us

Our Cause
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Through group exercise classes, youth programs, swim lessons, adult health programs, and more, we aim to build a healthier Monroe County. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our Mission
To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Our History
Our history dates back to the founding of the first YMCA in England in 1844, but so much has happened since then! Click on the bubbles for a detailed history of our Monroe County YMCA.
