Athol Young Mens Christian Association And Subsidiary

Healthy living - the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests such as diabetes prevention, senior fitness, and livestrong for adult cancer survivors. As a result, more than 3,000 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfullment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all.

Social responsibility - our y believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs from more that 150 years. Y programs such as project purple substance abuse prevention, high school after-prom parties, and our men's residence unit, are examples of how we support and empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles.
