About Us

Since its formation in 1955, the Athens-McMinn Family YMCA has been serving the communities of McMinn County. The current facility was built in 1975. More recently, in 2008, the Athens-McMinn Family YMCA involved more than 5,100 people in diverse communities. The Athens-McMinn YMCA serves a number of important groups, providing child care up to 200 children per day, teaming with public schools and private schools, and offering health and fitness programs for all ages and abilities. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. We strive to teach integrity, responsibility, honesty, and respect in everything we do. These are the core principles for our efforts to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
