St. Cloud Area Family YMCA

Youth Development. Healthy Living. Social Responsibility.

We help our community reach its full potential.

Your gift to the Y's Annual fund gives your neighbors access and opportunity.

Your St. Cloud Area Family YMCA is more than a gym. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families and individuals become healthier in body, mind, and spirit. 

"I like EVERYTHING about the Y!" exclaims 10-year-old Ryann Weirens. "It's fun to do the rock wall, swimming lessons, play basketball, and walk with my dad around the track." Ryann also aspires to be a lifeguard and swim teacher.

Ryann's dad, Blake, who has diabetes and uses a cane due to a car accident, lifts weights to gain strength. The Weirens are able to enjoy all the benefits of the Y due to financial assistance with their membership and program fees. "The Y has been so supportive to us. It's such a great place! I always feel better when I leave."

"The stair machine is the most fun for me!" says sixth grader Wesley Djoumbaye when talking about the Y. He likes working our with his dad, Yacine. Both Yacine and his wife, Angela, work full-time and are parents of four children, ages 2 to 17. they appreciate all the healthy recreation activities the Y offers to the community, including youth sports and summer day camp. The entire family LOVES spending time together in the pool.

Angela points out the the Y is one of the few places in the community that has great options for teens. "The Y has so many well-utilized resources, the pool, basketball courts, cardio equipment, weights...it's always busy."

Coming together to help our neighbors makes us all stronger. This is why we provide financial assistance to individuals who are looking to improve their lives and become stronger in body, mind, and spirit.
