"To put Christian principles into practice to improve the quality of life in our communities with programs and services that strengthen the spirit, mind and body for all."
What We Do
Youth Development
The Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen by supporting their unique youth development journey through holistic programming. From cradle to career, the Y provides all youth with the tools and resources they need to succeed in life.
Healthy Living
The Y aims to improve our communities' health and well-being by providing programs and activities that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease and help others reclaim their health. These programs and everything else the Y does are in service of making us—our Ys and our communities—better. The result is a community that values health and support healthy choices.
Social Responsibility
We know that when we work together, we move individuals, families and communities forward. The Y responds to society’s most pressing needs by developing innovative, community-based solutions to help those in need to reach their full potential. We are also committed to inspiring a spirit of service by uniting individuals from all walks of life to participate in and work for positive social change.

Our YMCA's History and Mission
For 115 years, the Harrison Family YMCA has been a cornerstone of our community. From our beginnings in 1911, providing meals, shelter, and support to railroad employees, to today’s thriving programs that nurture children, strengthen families, and empower individuals of all ages, the Y has always been grounded in purpose. Every generation has found a place to grow, belong, and thrive here — and it is your generosity that makes this possible. Together, we continue building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community, ensuring that the Y’s legacy of hope, opportunity, and impact lives on for tomorrow.
Our Partners
We put our all into making sure everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. And we couldn't do it alone. Interested in making a positive impact in the community? Contact us for details.
