Thank you to the Indianapolis Colts for partnering with the YMCA to bring flag football to our youth. Your support and commitment to fostering teamwork, leadership and healthy activity in our community is truly invaluable. Together, we are empowering the next generation to grow, learn and thrive through sports. Thank you for helping us make a lasting impact!

We proudly serve over 7,300 children through our youth swim programs. Did you know drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children aged 1-4? The YMCA is here to provide comprehensive aquatics programs and swim lessons in hope that no one in our community becomes a drowning statistic.

We’ve all experienced moments where we felt like we didn’t belong, but there’s more that unites us than divides us. During this year’s #WelcomingWeek, we are making a special note to remember that #BelongingBeginsWithUs. #YForAll
