Formed by the merger of Fergus Falls Area YMCA with YMCA of Cass and Clay Counties
(447)

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.

🍎Our final "Countdown to Kindergarten" field trip of the summer gave our kiddos the experience of school!

All Y Pre-K kids went to Meadowlark Elementary and learned:
✏️How to get on, ride, and get off a school bus
✏️How to find, open, and close lockers
✏️What a Kindergarten classroom looks like
✏️That meeting teachers and staff isn't scary

Have a 4-year-old? Our preschool experience places an increased focus on kindergarten readiness.
Enroll in our Kindergarten Readiness program today, spots are limited!

🫶Families across our community depend on the YMCA for afterschool care. One parent shared how afterschool care at the Y has benefitted her family:
"The program has been a great experience for my child. She is always happy when I arrive to pick her up, and excited to tell me what she did at Y Club Afterschool. This keeps my husband and me from worrying while we finish our work days".
➡️At the YMCA of the Northern Sky, we've spent decades providing safe, nurturing, and educational care for newborn through school age children. Because of donors like you, families can find the stability they need to work, support their families, and build a stronger community.
Will you help a working family afford quality child care with a gift today?
