YMCA REACH Center at Winston Lake Ribbon Cutting and Open House

The ribbon cutting of the YMCA REACH Center at Winston Lake will be Wednesday, May 14, at 10:00am and we hope you join us to celebrate this momentous occasion in our community! We will also hold an Open House from 11:00am-12:30pm. 

Saying Thank You to Our Incredible Volunteers

April is Volunteer Month and we would be remiss not to recognize all the amazing things our volunteers do for us, this month and always. As a nonprofit organization, the YMCA thrives off volunteer participation and engagement; they are the heart of our organization. Every year we recognize specific volunteers at our Annual Celebration, and this year is no different. We have 14 different individuals and one committee we will honor for their service and commitment to their respective branches and the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina.

Teen Referral Memberships

In a world full of isolation and unrest, it is more important than ever that we keep our young people engaged in positive experiences in healthy, safe environments. Our new initiative offers eligible young people ages 12-18 years old in our communities a FREE membership to access the Y’s fitness facilities, basketball courts, swimming pools, and so much more.

Community Impact

We're proud to serve the people of Northwest North Carolina. In 2024, we launched new community programs, invested in our facilities and equipment, and continued to demonstrate that the Y is a safe place for all to focus on their health — spiritually, mentally and physically.

How Can You Help?

The YMCA has a mission of helping all people reach their God-given potential in spirit, mind and body. We also strive to turn no one away due to an inability to pay a program or membership fee. Our goal is to serve as many people in the community as possible that can benefit from our services. We can’t do that without your help.

Our Mission:

"Helping all people reach their God-given

potential in spirit, mind and body."
