Looking Ahead to What’s Next

The Gallatin Valley YMCA is facing a critical space shortage that limits our ability to serve the growing needs of our community. Our current facilities are stretched to capacity, leaving us without the necessary programming space, a dedicated gymnasium for children, and a pool to provide essential swim lessons for Valley kids. With more families relying on the YMCA for safe, structured activities, we must expand to continue fulfilling our mission of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Last summer, we operated out of tents, battling extreme heat, overcrowding, and even ongoing gopher outbreaks. While we remained committed to serving local children and families, the lack of permanent facilities created challenges that we can no longer afford to ignore. A gymnasium would provide a safe, year-round space for kids to play and grow, and a pool would ensure that every child in our community has the opportunity to learn life-saving water safety skills.

The YMCA has been a cornerstone of the Gallatin Valley for generations, providing programs and support that strengthen families and build a healthier community. To uphold this legacy, we must expand our facilities and ensure that no child is turned away due to lack of space. Investing in the future of the Gallatin Valley YMCA means investing in the well-being and success of our children, and we need the support of our community to make this vision a reality.

Please consider reaching out to assist us in our challenge to secure funding to grow our capacity.
