The world's biggest soccer stage is here, and the excitement is reaching all the way to the Rauner Family YMCA! ⚽

Earlier this month, the Rauner Family YMCA welcomed the U.S. Soccer Federation for a special event that gained national attention, including coverage from CBS Chicago News. To make the experience even more memorable, the U.S. Soccer Federation generously donated tickets for Rauner Family YMCA staff to attend the U.S. vs. Germany match at Soldier Field!

As soccer fever continues to sweep the globe, we're excited to help the next generation of players get in the game through our FREE Youth Summer Community Soccer League for youth entering grades 4–8.

Whether your child is new to the sport or already loves the game, this league is a great opportunity to build skills, stay active, make friends, and have fun all summer long.

⚽ FREE Youth Summer Community Soccer League
👟 Open to youth entering grades 4–8

Today we celebrate the biggest dreamers, explorers, creators, and future leaders—our youth 💫

International Children’s Day is a reminder of the importance of supporting children’s rights, well-being, and opportunities to thrive. At the Y, our Early Learning and School-Age Care teams help make that possible every day by creating spaces where children feel cared for, empowered, and connected.

Here’s to celebrating every child and the bright futures ahead 💙
