Welcome to the Fulton Family YMCA

The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina (NWNC) is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated reopening of the Fulton Family YMCA to membership on January 1, 2024. The Fulton Y will be adding membership hours from 7:00am to 1:00pm and will measure facility usage and membership numbers to determine if expanded hours are warranted. Since late 2020, the Fulton Family YMCA has played a vital role as a hub for essential youth development programs, including after-school initiatives, summer camps, youth sports, and housing the TYDE swim team.
