for youth development
At the Y, we believe that children learn best when they are both supported and challenged. Our dedicated recreation staff works closely with each child to foster growth, confidence, and skill development through engaging youth recreation and education programs. Designed to build teamwork, sportsmanship, and essential life skills, these programs provide a nurturing environment where kids can explore new perspectives, form lasting friendships, and collaborate with diverse teams.
We also believe that every family deserves access to high-quality childcare. That’s why we not only provide some of the best childcare programs in the nation but also offer financial assistance to ensure all families can benefit from YMCA programs. From Infant and Toddler Care to Teen programs, the Y is where children of all ages can learn, grow, and thrive.
for healthy living
Across the nation, the Y is a leading force in promoting health and well-being. With a mission rooted in balance, we bring families closer together, inspire healthy living, and create opportunities for meaningful connections through fitness, sports, and shared interests.
As a result, millions of youth, adults, and families receive the support, guidance, and resources they need to nurture their spirit, mind, and body. At our Y, you’ll find a variety of activities—whether you’re looking for competitive team sports, casual recreation, or social clubs. With classes and programs for every interest, you can discover new ways to stay active, have fun, and build lasting friendships.
for social responsibility
At the Y, we believe that everyone—regardless of their circumstances—deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, fulfilling, and responsible life. That’s why social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do. Every day, we welcome children, adults, families, and seniors from all socioeconomic backgrounds, providing innovative, engaging, and forward-thinking programs that uplift our community.
With your support, we can do even more. Our commitment to ensuring that everyone in the Harrisburg community has access to the Y, regardless of their ability to pay, is made possible through financial assistance for those in need. This allows more families to benefit from essential programs like child care, membership, and wellness services.
We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, board members, donors, and staff for their dedication and passion. Their tireless efforts ensure that our mission continues to reach and impact every member of our community.
Bloomsburg YMCA,
Where community means everything.
