Welcome to the best "Third Place!" Your first place is home, your second place is typically work, and your third place is where you go to socialize and build friendships. We believe our Y is the best third place in our region, bringing together friends and neighbors, building relationships, and connecting people from diverse backgrounds for engagement and combating the epidemic of loneliness.
At the YMCA, we are dedicated to being that third place for you—a place where you can connect, grow, and thrive. From group exercise classes, family programming, and sports leagues to community events and volunteer opportunities, we provide numerous ways for you to engage and build meaningful relationships.
Thank you for being a part of our YMCA family and for helping us strengthen the community together.
-Bill Soper, CEO
