The YMCA is made up of thousands of stories. From a child learning how to swim for the first time even though they have a fear of the water, to the breast cancer survivor working her way back to full strength, mentally and physically at the Y - we have so many stories of impact to share.

If you are a member of the media and would like more information about the stories you find here, or have other inquiries, please contact our communications team!
