The YMCA of Cass and Clay Counties is a not-for-profit community service organization dedicated to enhancing the spirit, mind and body of all persons through quality leadership, programs, services and facilities. At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Each day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We focus our work in three key areas that are fundamental to strengthening community: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Today, we serve nearly 60,000 youth and adults annually through membership, adult fitness programs, child care, summer camp, aquatics and so much more.

140 years of impact. One incredible community. 💙

What a night! 🎉 We gathered with friends, supporters, volunteers, and community leaders to celebrate 140 years of the YMCA of the Northern Sky — honoring the people, memories, and milestones that have shaped our Y since 1886.

From celebrating our history and recognizing the people who have made a lasting difference to sharing laughter and making new memories, the evening was a powerful reminder of what makes the Y so special: our community.

As we celebrated this milestone, our CEO, Steve Smith, challenged us to look ahead with a shared commitment:
💙 To build a community where everyone is seen, supported, and connected. Where no one faces life's challenges alone, and every child, family, and senior has the resources, relationships, and sense of belonging they need to thrive.

To everyone who celebrated with us, supported our mission, and helped make the evening unforgettable — thank you!
140 years is worth celebrating. And the future we're building together is worth investing in.

Here's to the next chapter! 💙

Deanna found strength though the Y. You can help others do the same.

Meet Deanna. After surviving endometrial and skin cancer, Deanna could barely walk, and everyday tasks felt overwhelming. Then, her doctors recommended LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA. 💛

Joining the program changed everything. Deanna not only rebuilt her physical strength, but she also found a community of lifelong friends who supported her through every step of her recovery. Today, she’s back at the Y 2–3 times a week, lifting weights and growing stronger every day. 💪

No one should have to navigate cancer recovery alone. When you give to the Y, you help survivors like Deanna rebuild their strength and reclaim their confidence.

🎃 A little pumpkin guts, a lot of creativity, and priceless smiles!
Our Horace school-age Y Club kids had a blast carving pumpkins recently.
🎃While it definitely made for a wonderfully messy afternoon, projects like this are packed with hands-on learning:
• Sensory Exploration & Tactile Play – Feeling textures and using tools
• Fine Motor Skills & Hand Strength – Scooping, scraping, and carving
• Critical Thinking & Planning – Designing a spooky (or silly!) face
• Confidence & Social-Emotional Growth – Sharing ideas and working together
🎃Want your child to learn, grow, and make great friends after school? Give them an experience they’ll love at the Horace School-Age Y Club!:
