VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE

There are many opportunities to help change someone’s life from volunteering at the YMCA. All talents, interests and schedules can be accommodated.

YOUTH & FAMILIES AT THE Y

MISSION

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy Spirit, Mind and Body for all.

Family time at the Y is about giving families as a unit, and as individuals, the opportunities to deepen relationships, develop new skills and interests, improve their health and well-being, and connect to the community.

The Y has always been a place where families can play and be active together, and that's more important than ever. Whether the activities are physical like sports or exercise classes, or more recreational like swimming, camping, skating and arts, Ys want families doing them together because you'll live healthier and make memories for a lifetime.

Children under the age of 5 must be accompanied by their parent or adult guardian at all times. Youth ages 6 and older may use the Y on their own. The Y recommends parents take the time to tour the Y with their children to learn what areas are safe for children to use. The Member Code of Conduct is available for viewing on our website and age guidelines are found on page 4 under each facility offering.

CREDIT POLICY

Activities that are canceled by reason of the participant will be assessed a $15 refund processing fee or given a full credit toward any YMCA activity or membership. n There are no credits given for individual classes missed. n The YMCA reserves the right to cancel a class when it does not meet the minimum enrollment requirement.

TOURS

Tours of our facilities are available during hours of operation. No appointment is necessary.

To schedule a group tour, please call for an appointment.

RENTAL

What do you love about the Y? I love the environment of the Y. It was my first job and a perfect place for me. I could mature, grow and be challenged in a place I am welcome and comfortable.

Why do you work at the Y? For me working at the Y means opportunity. I love people. I love getting to know, help, and serve them. Every time I walk through the YMCA doors I have the opportunity to do just that. This is why I work at the Y. My job is to teach kids how to swim but what I really do is help provide a safe place for kids to try, grow and succeed.

Kasey Marco has been working at the Y for about 3 years and started off as a co-teacher and became a lead teacher and lifeguard through Y training.

If you are looking for a great place to meet lots of wonderful people and provide a safe place for them to swim, come work at the Oshkosh YMCA. Now accepting applications for lifeguards and swim instructors please contact Roxanne Lee at 230-8449 ex 106 or Tracy Gilles at 236-3380 ex 395.

Cancer is a life-changing disease that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on those affected. The Y and LIVESTRONG have joined together to create LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a research-based physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their total health. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to safely achieve their goals such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; and improving confidence and self-esteem. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is helping people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind and body.

SO MUCH MORE‌

THE HANSON FAMILY

My Y Story is similar to many others. I started working out at the Y to improve my overall health and fitness. I thought it would be just a really good gym to workout at. Turns out, the Y has been so much more than I expected!

The Y has been a place where I have made lasting friendships, been a part of the community through volunteering, and built self-confidence. It is a place that reinforces positivity and personal responsibility.

When I first joined I enjoyed the lifestyle center and group fitness classes. Although I do enjoy those still today, I have been able to see how much more the Y offers for families. With so many choices, my children are never bored when we walk in the door! Activities such as Family Night, Wee classes and Wiggles and Giggles engage Aubrey and Casey and help show them that being active and healthy is FUN!

While I work and attend college full time, we know that Aubrey and Casey are being well cared for at the Downtown Y childcare. The amazing staff does more than nurture and care for them, they invest in them.

They are positive role models for the kids and encourage creativity and individuality. We are truly blessed to have Aubrey and Casey there!

My Y story isn’t over and the needs and experiences I have will continue to change over time.

I encourage everyone to build on their Y stories. Take advantage of all the Y has to offer and surprise yourself with all you are capable of! ~ Tanna Hanson
