Welcome to the Licking County Family YMCA!

As a part of Licking County since 1876, the Y believes that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our community. The Y is, and always will be, focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY IS OUR CAUSE

The Licking County Family YMCA is Licking County’s premier volunteer organization. YMCA members come from all walks of life, with different ethnic and religious backgrounds, yet they all have a common goal, to enhance our community.

We help each other strive toward developing a strong self-image, confidence, fair play, and a purpose to value others. YMCA activities and programs enhance family relationships, value local community participation, and improve physical and mental fitness.
