The Y is about changing lives for the better. We view participation in our programs and services as a means to a greater end. Therefore, through our re-branding effort, we want to help our communities learn more about our work so we can help our communities learn and grow.

By simplifying how we describe our programs, we hope it will be apparent that everything we do is designed to nurture the potential of children and teens (Youth Development), improve health and well-being (Healthy Living) and motivate people to support their neighbors and the larger community (Social Responsibility).

Join the YMCA and renew the energy in your life. Discover new friendships, new interests and new skills. Whether you're looking for a place to get fit, a comforting environment for your children or involvement in a volunteer program, you'll find it at The Bedell Family YMCA.
