Dodge City Young Men's Christian Association

The YMCA provides health and well-being programming for people with individual sessions, group classes, and various other fitness and wellness classes. These programs are designed to help our members grow in spirit, mind, and body. More importantly, we make the YMCA available 24 hours a day and offer free babysitting for families so they are able to attend. The YMCA recognizes our most avid users each month by awarding a member of the month and top users each year.

The focus of youth programming is to foster growth and development, learn sportsmanship and have fun, not only for children but also for the parents and families. More importantly, we stress it to our volunteers, coaches, and leaders. Our programs focus on four core values: respect, honesty, caring, and responsibility. Parents play an important role in policy and program decisions through involvement in evaluating sessions. They also serve on volunteer committees, clubs or advisory councils at the YMCA. It is our belief that youth develop so many lifetime skills playing in our programs. They build self-esteem, friendships and many more benefits. Our largest programs in youth development are after-school, youth sports and summer camp. Every one of our programs in youth development offers financial assistance to those who can't afford to play. We never deny the opportunity to participate.
