WELCOME TO THE SAGE YMCA!Strengthening communities is our cause. We serve three crucial areas of focus to help individuals, families and communities learn, grow and thrive.

The Y is for Youth Development, because we believe all kids deserve opportunities to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Through the Y, youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

The Y is for Healthy Living, improving the nation’s health and well-being. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests.

The Y is for Social Responsibility, giving back and providing support to all our neighbors. Whether developing life skills or emotional well-being, and advocating for healthier communities, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.

The Y is for the entire community, and is open to everyone. Donors enable the Sage YMCA, a charitable, non-profit organization to offer a Financial Assistance Program for those individuals and families that qualify. We are here to serve you, your family and all of our community while developing your spirit, mind and body.

Welcome!

LEARN TO SWIM AT THE Y!For many, the YMCA was where one learned how to swim as a child and for good reason. Since 1885, the Y has been a pioneer in swimming education. Literally millions of people have learned to swim through the YMCA's perfected program. In Y Swim Lessons participants learn and practice new swimming skills and feel a sense of achievement from mastering something new that they can enjoy the rest of their lives.

But not only Diane, the whole staff at the YMCA is helpful in my new quest. Thanks to all the staff for making the Sage YMCA a positive place to go.

My experience this past year with the Sage YMCA Preschool was my first one and the program exceeded my expectations. I was beyond impressed with the curriculum and the swim lessons that my son had twice a week while in the three days a week program. I am so happy with how much he learned educationally, emotionally and physically. We have the amazingly dedicated and caring staff of preschool teachers, preschool director and swim instructors to thank for that. The atmosphere they created was warm, friendly, open and family like.

The Y.So Much More™

Sage YMCA Member, Alana Subleski, suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2014. After a year of recovery, countless physical therapy sessions and many successes and struggles, Alana and her family decided personal training was the best way to get her back to strength and continuing on the road to full recovery.

“I wanted to return to the gym so my Mom called the Sage YMCA and inquired about a personal trainer. I was introduced to Holen who was willing to work with me. She even took the time to do some research on brain aneurysms and exercises that would help strengthen by hips and knees. She was great - working me hard and helping me to grow stronger… There’s no giving up!”’

– Alana Subleski – Sage YMCA Personal Training Client
