Welcome to our YMCA

Being part of our Southington-Cheshire Community YMCAs is much more than joining a gym, taking a swim, enrolling in child care programs or going to day camp.

OUR MISSION
To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

OUR VALUES & OUR CAUSE
Our cause is to strengthen the foundation of our community through youth development, healthy Living and social responsibility. Additionally, we do this through instilling our Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into our programs, staff and volunteers. What sets the Y apart is our 90 plus years of community service as a charitable organization, dedicated to creating opportunities to enhance the quality of living within the community. The programs at our YMCA encourage healthy lifestyles and are accessible to ALL regardless of financial circumstance. When you join the YMCA you become a member of a worldwide organization whose mission is to help children, families and communities reach their greatest potential. YMCA membership and involvement represents not only an investment in yourself, but also in your community

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities.
Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
Our core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility - they guide everything we do. 

STAFF & VOLUNTEERS WHO CARE
The Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA employs nearly 400 staff and recruits over 600 volunteers.  Our YMCA staff and volunteers are well-trained, certified in their field and are caring and committed individuals. Every day, we strive to live the YMCA’s mission to deliver the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in all that we do.

COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES EXIST
To maximize your YMCA experience and membership to the fullest, you can also give back and reach out to your community as a Y Volunteer or through various Y philanthropic opportunities. Giving of your time, treasure or talent makes it possible for your Y to continue to provide the programs and services it offers. Equally important, it allows you to grow personally and experience the joy of giving.

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT THE Y!
Your YMCA membership opens up a world of fitness options and recreational activities to individuals and families of any age.  Y members get full access to the total facility that includes our pool, gymnasium, racquetball courts, weights and cardio equipment as well as our off-site facilities including: Cheshire Community YMCA facilities, The Women’s Health & Wellness Center (in Southington), our YMCA Learning Center, and YMCA Camp Sloper Outdoor Center. Our programs are designed to accommodate every age group from preschoolers to seniors.  The opportunities are endless for you and your family at the YMCA!

PERSONAL ATTENTION & EXPERIENCE
To underscore our commitment, YMCA staff and volunteers take pride in giving our members the personal attention and service they deserve. Facility tours and orientations, personalized fitness assessments, personal training appointments and programs are some of the many ways to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

HELPING YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
There is no greater gift that you can give yourself than a fit and healthy spirit, mind and body. Membership at the Y supports your choice to commit and invest in your health and well-being.  We are here as your partner in achieving your fitness goals and a healthier lifestyle which will positively affect the overall quality of your daily life, today and down the road.
