One of the area’s leading nonprofits, committed to strengthening communities through Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been a mainstay in our community for more than eight decades. Through its three full-service branches - two in Joliet and one in Plainfield, its Central City “Y without Walls” and Morris Community YMCA programs the Y is serving thousands of area residents each and every day. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health, and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. But, most importantly, its doors are open to everyone, regardless of age, income or background. At the Y, no one is ever turned away due to the inability to pay.
