Our Areas of Focus

For Youth Development:

Nurturing the potential of every child and teen

We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for the future. At the Duneland Family YMCA, children and teens learn values and positive behaviors, and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential.

For Healthy Living:

Improving the nation’s health and well-being

Being healthy is about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. At the Y,  you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new activity, fostering connections with neighbors, or joining family-centered activities.

For Social Responsibility:

Giving back and providing support to our neighbors

The generosity of others is at the core of the Y’s existence as a nonprofit. It is only through the support of volunteers and donors that we are able to support and give back to our communities.
