Dubuque Community Y

The dubuque y is committed to improving our community's health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections and relationships through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, over 15,000 people in our area communities 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 chronic disease and obesity, families wrestle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. As with everything we offer, our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. Financial assistance, funded primarily through our annual campaign, is offered to all who may not be able to participate.

The dubuque y exists to give back and support our neighbors. We have been responding to our community's most critical social needs for over 150 years. Our domestic violence program, including our fully staffed crisis service shelter provided over 4,000 nights of safety in 2022, as well as the resources to empower victims of domestic violence to leave threatening circumstances and move forward with security and support. Additionally, the shelter provided these services at no cost to the individuals or families.
