Our Y is grateful to welcome back our members and participants again. Each day we see familiar and new faces who walk through our doors to commit to healthy living and youth development. We couldn't be more proud to support all who need us, especially those who were most-vulnerable through the health crisis.
As we continue to adapt our work to address the most critical needs, like mental health impacts of the pandemic on individuals, children and families, we welcome our members and greater community to learn about ways the Y is here for all, and how to get involved.
In fact, helping others is easy. YourYMCA membershipnot only improves your good health, but also strengthens life for others in need.
If you'd like to consider a one-time or monthly gift as asocial good partner, you'll be giving people who otherwise couldn't afford it, access to our programs.
We welcome you to be a part of our Y—as a member, supporter, volunteer and staff member (we're hiring!), so that our whole community can recover, live healthier and thrive together.
Stronger Together,
Laurie Goganzer, President & CEO
YMCA of Greater Monmouth County
Y GIVING
HELP GIVE KIDS THEIR BEST SUMMER EVER!
Your gift to our Y's Annual Campaignis helping to support the transition for children from a year of quarantine and social isolation, to fresh air, friendships and fun in the great outdoors. Hear from our summer camp team on how the YMCA supports working families and helps children cope through social emotional learning, then consider a gift to the Y to continue our social good.
Kids learn, grow and thrive at YMCA summer camp. It's not too late to register for spots at Y locations in Freehold Borough and Camp Zehnder in Wall where kids explore nature, develop lasting friendships and have their best summer ever!
Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide and can happen nearly anywhere with standing water. All children should have the skills to be confident in and around water.
At the Y, swimming is a critical skill that could save a life and will benefit children for a lifetime. Y swim instructors are nationally certified, and training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration.
Summer swim lesson registration is now open. Classes start June 28 and spots fill quickly so register today for swim lessons at the Y.
There's something about fresh air and fitness that does a body good. We're expanding our outdoor programs including new Functional Fitness space in Red Bank and Freehold Swim Club for members, plus free Fitness in the Park is back for all guests. We welcome you to learn more and join the fun!
All participants of Fitness in the Park receive a guest pass to their closest YMCA.
