Strengthening Community for a Healthier Future

YMCA of Lethbridge is the largest charitable organization in our community that promotes wellness through recreation for people of all ages and stages. The central theme of your YMCA as a charity is to focus on strengthening communities. We do this by providing opportunities for all to grow in spirit, mind and body. More than ever this integrated approach to personal growth and community development distinguishes the YMCA from other service providers. Everyone is welcome. No one is turned away because they are unable to pay the full fee due to personal circumstances. We cannot have a strong community unless we have strong individuals and families who can contribute to the health and well being of the neighbourhoods, communities and society in which they live, work and play. Through the YMCA of Lethbridge, people are actively involved in improving their own lives and those of others. Our staff and volunteers strive to create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere in all our programs.
