Capital Campaign

The YMCA is currently raising funds for its capital campaign to renovate the recently purchased property formally known as, Adams School. As wonderful as it has been to have started in our current, rented facility, we fortunately have outgrown the space. With this new space, we will be able to house more programs onsite, grow our membership base and partner with Care Connection for Aging Services-Senior Center. For more information on how you can impact our community forever by donating to the capital campaign, please contact Kathy Lock at 660-542-0011. Progress on the project will come soon.

Endowment Fund

The YMCA Endowment Fund provides a secure, stable foundation upon which the YMCA can build its future. Gifts to the Fund are invested, allowing the YMCA to use the interest to support critical programs that require contributions to survive. Gifts can be made to the Endowment Fund in any amount or at any time.

Partners with Youth

The annual Partners with Youth Campaign ensures that the YMCA is there for those who need us most and enables every member of our community to have access to diverse programs and activities that meet their needs. By supporting this campaign, you help guarantee that everyone, regardless of their circumstances or ability to pay, can benefit from the YMCA’s values-centered programs.

Y-PALS

Y-PALS is a program of the Carroll County Area YMCA that provides children in need with an adult role model and regularly scheduled activities so that children, through one-on-one interactions with an adult volunteer, will receive guidance, a wider variety of appropriate life experiences, and opportunities for friendship and companionship.

Become a Mentor: Change Two Lives

“Young People Actively Learning Success” reaches children ages 6-14 years who need a positive role model, more self-esteem, and improved self-confidence. Y-PALS helps kids build social skills, develop a friendship, and provides them with someone who will listen. Y-PAL volunteers share their free time with a youth about four hours per month. Y-PALS can do ordinary things like talking on the phone, playing board games, going bowling, making dinner, walking the dog, going to the library, and reading to each other. Through these activities, the child develops a positive self-image which will help him or her imagine a brighter future.

If you believe your child or a child you know could benefit from being part of the Y-PALS program, please call Kathy Lock at (660) 542-0011 or stop by the YMCA to pick up an application.  You may also click here to download an application.  There is no charge for being part of the Y-PALS program.

 We would like to thank all the following who were extremely generous in giving to the Carroll County Area YMCA 2023 Partner with Youth Campaign. Because of your support and generosity, we are able to help families and children who cannot afford to become members of the YMCA or participate in our programs. Our goal for 2023 is to raise $11,600. On behalf of the YMCA, our members and those you have impacted . . . THANK YOU!
