Nurturing the potential of youth and teens

At the Y, we are deeply committed to the well-being of our community's kids. We believe every child - regardless of income level or background - should be safe, supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

From the swimming pool to sports in the gym, childcare and summer camp to our free 6th grade memberships, every year over 2,000 youth in Southeastern Indiana rely on the Y to learn critical life skills, explore their passions and build confidence - qualities they'll need to succeed today and make our community stronger for generations to come.
