By supporting the YMCA, you are making a difference in the lives of individuals, children, and families throughout our community, across generations, regardless of their means and abilities. Your generous donation enables us to empower people and help them in leading healthier and more fulfilling lives. Together, we can ignite their potential and create a lasting positive impact on both their lives and the community.

As our communities emerge and recover from the societal changes and impacts of the pandemic, it became clear that the need for mental health programming and supports are urgently required by children and youth we proudly service in Regina, Moose Jaw, and surrounding communities.

The YMCA responded to these critical needs through intentional programming as well as ensuring access to our centres of community.

A small sample of these programs include:

• Y Mind – supports youth and teens, who are experiencing symptoms of mild-to-moderate anxiety or similar feelings.
• Assisted Membership – low or no-cost memberships for disadvantages youth and their families to create connection and belonging.
• Mentorship Programming – individual and group youth mentorship supports to build leadership skills and personal development.
• HOMEBASE Moose Jaw – The YMCA in Moose Jaw has been chosen as one of four locations in Saskatchewan to serve local and surrounding area youth through Integrated Youth Services Saskatchewan (IYS) in leading a community Hub that will provide one-stop access to YMCA and community partner programming beginning later this spring. 

There are children, teens, and young adults in every community who, with your help, will be healthier today and more productive tomorrow. Every kid deserves a chance to realize their full potential. By giving today, you can help build a better community for the future.
