Young Mens Christian Association Of Putnam County Ohio

The y is the 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, 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 worklife balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2021 we provided over $175,000 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

Our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our county's most critical social needs for more than 20 years. Ymca programs, such as cpr, lifeguard training and open doors financial assistance are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2021 we engaged over 3,100 ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive
