Stevens Point Area YMCA

The Adventure Pool will be closed from 11:30-2pm. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you.

A HUGE thank you to our amazing YMCA members for making a difference in our community through the Project Fresh Start School Supply Drive!

Because of your generosity, we were able to come together with United Way of Portage County to help provide local students with the supplies they need to start the school year ready to learn and succeed.

We are so proud of the success of this drive and grateful to everyone who donated, contributed, and helped spread the word. Your generosity truly makes an impact right here in our community.

Thank you for being part of the Y and for helping us make a difference!

Especially with all the GLUE!!

We were honored to welcome Senator Testin on Monday, for a meaningful conversation with our childcare families about the impact of childcare in our community. ❤️

A huge thank you to Senator Testin for taking the time to visit with us, listen to our families, and learn more about their experiences. We are also incredibly grateful to our childcare families who spent the afternoon sharing their stories and perspectives.

It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, have important conversations, and highlight the vital role childcare plays in supporting children, families, and our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this afternoon so meaningful!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our YMCA members who have donated nearly 1,500 pounds of food to the YMCA Food Pantry over the past six months! 🥫💙

Your generosity, kindness, and compassion are helping provide support to individuals and families in our community. Every donation makes a difference, and we are so grateful for the way our Y community continues to show up for one another.

👉 Want to help? Nonperishable food donations can be placed in the white donation bin near the YMCA’s front entrance. Our food pantry is located next to the elevators leading down to the Wellness Center.
