There is no other nonprofit quite like the Y. Be a part of a cause committed to moving people and communities forward. We know that when we work as one, we move people and communities forward. That’s why we are committed to providing support to our neighbors and opportunities for kids, adults and families to give, join in or advocate in the name of stronger communities.
Giving
The generosity of others is at the core of our existence. A cause driven, not-for-profit organization, the Y is able to fulfill our mission of enhancing the spirit, mind and body of all through the generosity of our members and donors.

AmeriCorps Program
AmeriCorps is an opportunity to make a big difference in your life and in the lives of those around you. It’s a chance to apply your skills and ideals toward helping others and meeting critical needs in your community. The YMCA of Cass and Clay Counties has over 52 AmeriCorps members completing terms of service mentoring at-risk youth, combating youth obesity, and keeping seniors active in addition to other roles. Each member receives a monthly living allowance, and upon successful completion of your term, members qualify for an education award of $2,775.

Locally, the YMCA has opportunities for volunteers to enrich their lives and the lives of those around them. We strive to make volunteering a rewarding experience.
