Change Where You Change Campaign

The YMCA is the nation’s leading NONPROFIT organization for youth development, healthy  living, and social responsibility.  The Southern  Prairie YMCA implements programs reflecting these ideals to meet the needs of our community.  Our goal is to provide a healthy and safe facility for all ages.  Younger school age children attend our affordable and fun summer day camp and afterschool  programs. Teens come after school to hang out with their friends.  Seniors and mid-lifers join young adults in land and water fitness classes, take laps on the indoor track, and build muscle tone  in the cardio and weight rooms.  The Southern Prairie YMCA has expanded  program opportunities to generate more activity in our facility.   Our current locker room areas need major renovations to keep up with the pace of our growing community.As a nonprofit organization, we must turn to members of our community for support of our capital campaign to “Change Where You Change”.
