A new program for youth athletes who want to improve their speed and agility is launching June 7 at Platte County Community Center South.

The new Kirk Family YMCA in downtown Kansas City will open in phases, beginning with enrollment for a summer day camp program scheduled to start June 1. The camp will support working families and help kids who have had their learning disrupted by the pandemic by giving them an opportunity to continue to learn throughout the summer.

The Marketplace Outreach Pantry at the North Kansas City YMCA has reopened. To celebrate and help fight growing food insecurity in our community, local brand Tohi Ventures donated 10,000 cans of Tohi Wellness Beverages ($30,000 retail value) to assist with re-stocking the pantry’s shelves and to support the Y's mobile food pantries. 

As a community organization for all, committed to advancing equity and inclusion for all, the Y encourages inclusive language. One way to be inclusive is through the use of pronouns.

Including pronouns is a first step toward respecting and affirming people’s gender identity, working against assumptions, and engaging people of all genders, including those who identify as transgender, gender nonconforming, and gender non-binary.
