Teen Referral Memberships

In a world full of isolation and unrest, it is more important than ever that we keep our young people engaged in positive experiences in healthy, safe environments. Our new initiative offers eligible young people ages 12-18 years old in our communities a free membership to access the Y’s fitness facilities, basketball courts, swimming pools, and so much more.

Our Impact in the Community

Your support of the William G. White, Jr. Family YMCA’s Annual Impact Fund ensures the sustainability of life-changing programs and opportunities for all in our community. Whenever a neighbor needs support, the YMCA of NWNC stands ready to help with open arms and caring heart.

Our new Yoga and Stretch Studio is bringing you new classes for the new year! The addition of the studio will expand group exercise capabilities by giving us an additional space to hold classes and expand our mind-body practice offerings to include various styles of yoga, Tai Chi and more.

Support the Y

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. You can help kids learn, grow and thrive, as well as ensure no one is ever turned away due to the inability to pay. Donations provide financial assistance to make Y programs available to everyone in our community.

Every gift makes a difference. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we can do so much more.

Our Mission: "Helping all people reach their God-given potential in spirit, mind and body."
