What Really Matters

At the Y, we think it's time to get back to the things that matter 

The YMCA cares about the same things you care about: raising healthy and resilient kids, ensuring youth feel confident and supported, and helping people feel healthy and connected to others in the community. 

The Kamloops Y provides vital community services that are having a positive impact on some of the community's most pressing social issues. Central to our success are:

• The people who unite behind our mission to help people reach their potential

• The safe and welcoming places we provide—from health and fitness facilities, child care programs and camps to Shelter for women and children leaving violence and programs to help with employment and counselling —that foster a sense of community; and

• The comprehensive community programs that provide the skills, opportunities and confidence people need to achieve their potential.

These people, places and programs come together to create a sense of belonging and a supportive network that has proven time and again to help people achieve their personal goals. For some the impact can be truly transformative and can have an enormous ripple effect on those around them.
