Welcome & Facility Hours
WELCOME TO THE COLUMBUS FAMILY YMCA
Financial assistance is available for all programs and membership. It’s hard to say which will get stronger. Your body? Your family? Or your community? We are not a gym, though your body will grow strong. We are not a childcare center, though we have cared for thousands of Columbus’ children over the years. We are not a social center, though countless friendships have been sparked here.
EVERYONE NEEDS A PLACE TO BELONG
The YMCA is that place, for Columbus, and whether through your membership or one of the programs in this guide, for you as well. Welcome to the Columbus Family YMCA. We’re glad you’re here! To learn more about the YMCA’s mission, values, and role in the community, please visit www.columbusy.org.
