Dow Bay Area Family YMCA

About Us

From the Bay City Y’s inception in 1885, we have worked to provide opportunities for individuals from all walks of life. Today, it serves men and women of all ages, religions and economic backgrounds.

While the history of the Y was founded on the basis of Judeo-Christian principles, the Mission of today’s Y provides an ecumenical delivery of service through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all – regardless of an individual’s religion, race, age, sex, income, or national origin. We achieve this mission by building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through a broad spectrum of programs for children, youth, adults, seniors, and families.
