Building Our Future | Bemidji YMCA

Together, we’re building more than a new facility—we’re bringing the YMCA to the Bemidji community.

The Bemidji region is growing, and with it, the need for a space that supports healthy living, youth development, and social connection for all.

The new YMCA in Bemidji will be located in the heart of the city’s historic rail corridor—transforming this area into a hub for community, wellness, and belonging. With thoughtfully designed spaces and inclusive programming, this full-service facility will serve people of all ages, backgrounds, and income levels.

This project is more than a building. It’s about creating opportunities for every individual and family in our region to thrive—physically, mentally, and socially.

But we can’t do it without you.

Your gift to this capital campaign helps:

• Bring a full-service YMCA to the Bemidji community

• Expand access to youth programs, camps, and swim lessons

• Create welcoming spaces for families, seniors, and individuals of all ages

• Support health and healing through inclusive wellness programs

• Ensure no one is turned away due to inability to pay

The new Bemidji YMCA will be a place where kids gain confidence, adults find support, and neighbors build meaningful connections—where everyone belongs.

Give today and help us bring this vision to life—building a space for growth, health, and community in Bemidji for generations to come.
