The YMCA is proud of the innovative and variety of programming that has impacted the Youngstown community for over a century. There is truly something for everyone! Technology has made it easier than ever to register for programs. Of course, there's the "old fashioned" way of registering by mail with the handy registration form that's included with most of the fliers. And of course, we welcome a chance to get to know you better when you register in person at the Service Desk. But technology has allowed us to provide you with yet another option via the Internet, from the comfort and convenience of your home or office. Mail, visit or click your way to signing up for your favorite YMCA program today!

Active Older Adults (AOA) Programs
You might be an older adult, but that won't stop you from thinking and feeling decades younger through participation in YMCA programs. Whether or not you have special needs, there will always be a program, instructor or friend to help you feel your best.
Community Cup
For over 20 years, the YMCA's Community Cup program has brought the message of the importance of fitness, teamwork, sportsmanship and cooperation to thousands of employees of area businesses and organizations. The Cup features over a dozen athletic events like walking, swimming and running as well as more team-oriented events like volleyball and the ever popular tug-o-war. All of the events are designed to promote the importance of fitness and teamwork and how these attributes go a long way toward improving any company's bottom line.
There's no doubt the Community Cup has done more to promote corporate wellness than any other program in the history of Youngstown. Find out how the Cup can bolster your company's wellness efforts and create an atmosphere of pride and teamwork that will permeate the entire workforce!
"Come Out and Play" in 2012 and be part of the Community Cup!
