Program areas at La Crosse Area Family YMCA
Youth Development: We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why, through the La Crosse Y, thousands of youth are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.
Social Responsibility: Our Y has been listening and responding to our communities' most critical needs for nearly 135 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with community partners, the Y fosters the care, and respect all people need, and deserve. Through the Y, hundreds of volunteers and donors as well as community leaders are empowering one in four of our community residents to be healthy, confident, connected, and secure.
Healthy Living: Throughout our community, the Y is a leading voice in health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, thousands of youth, adults and families in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.
