STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY
The West Cook YMCA has been serving our community since 1902. The Y is known for programs such as residence, swim lessons, fitness, sports, after-school care, and summer camp. In 2014, we renewed our commitment to the communities we serve through an intentional and comprehensive restructuring of the Y’s capacity and program offerings in order to position our Y, programs, and services as the preferred wellness provider to our members and service area by providing a quality experience through excellence in service.
IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY
As a member of the Y, together, we are addressing the needs of our community through a focus on youth achievement and community health and wellness.
