Greater Lowell Family Y M C A

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. As a result, 5,972 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 fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2024 we provided $46,467 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

Y programs, such as livestrong, praesidium, parkinsons and our food drives/donations are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. Our goal is to serve 20% of the population in our service area.in 2024 we added an offsite location in tewksbury, ma expanding programming, summer camp, and school vacation week childcare.
