WHY THE Y?
The YMCA is so much more than just a gym. We are a nonprofit committed to strengthening the Kandiyohi County Area community and the individuals in it. At the Y, we’re here to help you find your “why” – your greater sense of purpose – by connecting you with opportunities to improve your health, support young people, make new friends and contribute to a stronger, more cohesive community for all.
