Southern District YMCA / Exeter Area YMCA For Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. The Official Page of the Exeter Area YMCA

The Southern District YMCA has been serving area youth and families since 1926 out of Kingston, NH. While camping has historically been a primary focus, after school programs, health and wellness, leadership, teen and family programming has filled the community void. Since 1926, over 150,000 youth and 10,000 staff have spent part of their life building healthy spirit, body and mind in the Y tradition through Southern District YMCA programs. At the Y, we have always known that positive change only comes when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. The form in which the Southern District YMCA delivers its programs and activities and fulfills its historic mission of community service is driven by the support provided by generous families, individuals and organizations in the area.

THANK YOU for making Pedal with a Purpose a huge success! 💙

🚴 Together, we rode 500 miles with 50 participants and support from 100+ generous donors—all helping fuel life-changing programs like Cancer Survivorship, Diabetes Prevention, Parkinson’s programs, and Walk with Ease.

And thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, we raised more than $8,000! 🙌

A huge shoutout to our incredible instructors—Gary, Lauren, Jodi, Mariah & Christy—for keeping the energy high and making every mile count!

A special thank-you to Exeter Hospital for their generous sponsorship, helping every mile and every dollar go even further.

Because of YOU, we reached our goal. 💙
