- Combat chronic disease.
- Offer water safety for all.
- Create meaningful outdoor experiences.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- “Thank you to all the staff that have given their time and patience to my children at the Y. They have become better kids because of the interactions and positive influences at the Y.”
- Nearly 55,000 children (ages 6 weeks to 10 years) enjoyed Kids Stuff last year, while their parents got healthier and happier by working out.
- Provided more fun, friendship and fitness to the lives of our Active Older Adults by starting “pickle ball,” pot lucks and a card club.
- “The Elk River Y has become my family, my home away from home. We moved here from Georgia for my husband’s job, in which he travels a lot. With two small children I found myself virtually alone. One day, after driving by for over a month and thinking about it, I just walked in. The Front Desk staff, the Kids Stuff workers, and Y members all welcomed me right away. They introduced me to a Mom’s Group and other ways my kids and I could enjoy time here. Everyone is just incredible! Elk River Y, I can’t thank you enough!”
