Our Y Stories

We are excited to share some fantastic news that will brighten up your winter days – Summer Camp 2024 registration is just around the corner, and we are thrilled to welcome your children to an unforgettable summer of fun and adventure at the YMCA of Greater Cleveland.   Early Registration Opens in January

All members can bring guests to any of our branches using our guest passes. As you know, our focus on health and well-being helps members find balance in life while strengthening their community. Why not share the benefits of Y membership with those you know?

January is a great time to belong to the YMCA of Greater Cleveland! Adults can get personal training, participate in group fitness, join a wellness program, and more. Kids can join Jr. Cavs, enjoy swimming lessons, or take advantage of kid-centric branch activities. Active Older Adults participate in adult programs and offerings just for them.

Overcoming homelessness and addiction is challenging. The relapse rate for addiction is 40-60 percent. This means that about half of people who have achieved sobriety will relapse at some point, with the risk of relapse highest in the first few months of recovery, but it can happen at any time.

A few days' worth of collections from our Lakewood branch!

Keeping our branches in good shape is a task that our branch executives and operations staff focus on every day. For example, in the past month, our Lakewood branch got new fitness room flooring, our North Royalton branch’s pool and related equipment were refurbished, and work is starting on the roof of our Geauga branch.
