At the YMCA of Central Kentucky, we’re more than a gym. We’re a community hub where people of all ages discover connection, confidence, and belonging. It’s a place where kids find their confidence at camp, families find balance in the midst of busy weeks, and seniors find connection and purpose through programs that strengthen spirit, mind, and body.
Belonging happens through simple, meaningful moments.
One camp experience at a time.
One child at a time.
One family at a time.
For many of our neighbors, those opportunities are possible because of financial assistance that supports access to memberships, swim lessons, youth sports, and so much more. Membership dues allow you to belong, and donations help others find their place to grow, connect, and thrive.
As we approach the end of the year, we invite you to consider making a tax-deductible gift to the YMCA of Central Kentucky. Your generosity ensures that every person, regardless of financial circumstance, can benefit from the programs and community that make the Y so special.
