Based on the recent updates to guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the YMCA of Greater Kansas City has updated our health and safety policies. Face coverings are no longer required at many of our membership centers.

May is Older Americans Month, and the YMCA of Greater Kansas City is emphasizing the importance of developing behaviors that are crucial to healthy aging. Many older adults have been staying home to stay healthy this past year because of the risk of COVID-19. As the community reopens and vaccinations increase, the Y is here to help you find ways to eat healthy, get active and stay connected socially—all keys to healthy aging. 

The YMCA of Greater Kansas City is hiring! As the leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y is looking for talented associates to help us make our community stronger. All employees have the opportunity to learn and grow through training opportunities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us in many ways. Older adults are facing increased isolation, which increases the likelihood of experiencing depression and anxiety.

Now more than ever we’ve seen the importance of a healthy workforce. We’re proud to announce we have received the Gold Level Healthy KC Workplace Wellness certification from The Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce’s Healthy KC Initiative.
