For more than 164 years, the YMCA of South Alabama has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. And today, our community is going through unprecedented challenges. Though our doors may be closed, we are still working to meet the needs of our friends and neighbors in these uncertain times. That’s why we’re asking our members and the community at large to stay with us.  

We are just as eager as everyone to reopen our doors, and when that time comes, we know it will be an exciting day, filled with celebration. Until then, we will continue to do the work that is needed to keep our children safe, our seniors connected and our community healthy. But we can’t do it alone. Please. Stay with us

Each year, the YMCA of South Alabama reaches more than 25,000 people across our community through programs that helps anyone reach their full potential, including After School, Summer Day Camp, Swim Lessons, Safety Around Water, and Personal Training just to name a few. Since the COVID-19 situation arouse, the Y shifted its focus and responded quickly as the community’s needs changed.

We are providing a safe place for children of first responders, medical personnel, city/state/county staff, grocery store and pharmacy employees.
