La Crosse Area Family YMCA

Healthy Living: Throughout the La Crosse community, our Y is a leading voice in physical and mental health and overall well-being. Our Y brings community members together by encouraging healthy lifestyles and fostering connections through fitness, sports, fun, educational programming and shared interests. More than 33,000 individuals (both members and non-members of our Y) benefit from our Y's services that promote greater health and well-being for their bodies, minds and spirits every year.

Social Responsibility: Our Y has been listening to and responding to our community's most critical needs for 141 years. Whether developing new skills or enhancing emotional well-being through education, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations, working to prevent chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with community partners, our Y fosters the care and respect people need and deserve. Through our Y, hundreds of volunteers, donors and community leaders are empowering one in four of our community residents to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.

Youth Development: We believe that all youth in our community deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Over the years, our Y has taught thousands of youth to cultivate the values, skills, and relationships needed to reinforce positive behaviors, to better their health and to achieve academically.
