Welcome to our Y

The Manatee County Y is reaching out to our members and to the community by providing affordable membership and programs during the current economic struggle. We recognize the financial hardships that many are facing. For this reason we have revised some membership fees and membership descriptions to better serve today's households effective January 1, 2012.  Please visit our Membership Fees page if interested in joining the Y. Scholarships are available to assist individuals and families that otherwise may not be able to afford to join the Y.  The Y consists of men, women and children of all ages, from all walks of life joining together to strengthen the foundations of our community.  With a commitment to nurturing the potential in children, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the Y ensures that every individual has access to the essentials necessary to learn, grow, and thrive. If you are not already part of the Y family, now is the best time to join! YMCA MISSION: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
