For 170 years, the YMCA of Greater Louisville has been an impact-driven organization comprised of individuals who share a common mission to strengthen our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
At the Y, we are dedicated to helping everyone in our community become their best selves while strengthening the spirit, mind, and body. Healthy living programs are one way to help individuals find a sense of community, friendship, and support to enrich their life.

African American Resource Network provides leadership development, career and personal development, networking, training and mentoring for African Americans. The network also helps to create an equitable and anti-racist organization by raising awareness of issues and concerns related to bias, microaggressions, and racism, while providing recommendations to create more equitable work climate and culture.
Emerging Leaders Resource Network exists to deepen the commitment, connection, and passion that next generation leaders have for the Y movement. This group is designed to sustain and strengthen the legacy of the YMCA, ensuring that future generations will continue to be inspired to serve through the Y.
LGBTQIA Resource Network provides a safe forum and network for LGBTQIA staff and volunteers, professional development, training and mentoring. The network increases awareness about issues concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer and intersex staff and volunteer leaders while providing recommendations to create a more equitable work climate and culture.
Multicultural Leaders Resource Network creates a more inclusive environment by bringing together individuals of all cultural backgrounds, races, and ethnicities for career and personal development, networking, training, and mentoring. The network helps to create an anti-racist organization by raising awareness of issues and concerns related to bias, microaggressions, and racism, while providing recommendations to create a more equitable work climate and culture.
The Women’s Leadership Resource Network is created to provide female-identified Y professionals with career and personal development, networking, training and mentoring. The network also helps to create a more inclusive organization by raising awareness of inequities and biases that affect women in the workplace, while providing recommendations to create a more equitable work climate and culture.
Strengthening community is at the core of everything we do. The YMCA of Greater Louisville provided support to our neighbors and addressed issues of education, community health and equity, and child welfare.
Through the Matt Kubancik Youth Development Center, 142 homeless young adults received support for case management and basic needs.
431 teens received both residential care and case management services at Shelter House.
34 youth, with justice-involved parents, were mentored as they worked toward breaking the cycle of incarceration.
858 youth and adults learned life-saving skills to keep them safe in and around water.
297 Board Members advocated for our members and community.
101 campaigners raised funds to continue providing programs for those who need them most.
48 men received housing, case management, and career resources to help them thrive.
We would not be able to complete our mission without the support of our incredible volunteers. Each year, branches nominate an outstanding volunteer to be recognized for their dedication and volunteerism. Learn about this year’s Volunteer of the Year nominees!
