PROGRAMS

Welcome to the Y. We're an inclusive organization of men, women and children
joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids,
promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility.

Youth Sports at the Kankakee Area YMCA give children a chance to get active and play. Players will have fun while developing an appreciation for sports and physical activity. Youth sports participants will develop their skills while learning sportsmanship, teamwork and the YMCA character values of caring, honesty, responsibility, respect and faith. We offer a variety of youth clinics and sports leagues. Our philosophy is "everybody plays, everybody wins." All levels are welcome!

Youth sports aren't just for kids; they offer parents a chance to connect with other families, volunteer and build lasting friendships.

For Social Responsibility

We are a powerful ally and advocate for our communities. Our experience and strong relationships in 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation mean that we are able to organize grassroots efforts and influence public policy around a range of social issues including child welfare, education and public health.

The Y is you - the generosity of others is at the core of our existence. It is only through the support of our hundreds of thousands of volunteers and public and private donors that we are able to give back to the communities we serve.
