For a better us.
For more than 130 years, the YMCA of Northwest Florida has served Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, creating opportunities for men, women and children of all ages and backgrounds to come together to learn, grow and thrive. Through our programs, each year more than 15,000 people have a chance to enrich their spirit, mind and body.
As the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, we welcome a diverse membership that includes all ages, genders, races, religions, abilities and incomes. At the Y, you can make new friends, renew old friendships and help make Northwest Florida a better place to live. At the Y, everybody belongs!

Better together: Member get a member
It's much easier to get motivated with an accountability partner. As a current Ymember, invite a friend to join with a Member Get a Member Form. We'll reward both you and your friend - and you can not only set goals, but reach them. Forms available in our Welcome Centers.
