The YMCA of Northern Colorado is a nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We serve our community through offerings that include fitness programs, before and after school care in elementary schools, middle school programs, summer camps, youth and adult sports, active older adult programs, aquatics and more.
What is Y Friends?
Y Friends is a group of local businesses that support the Y through annual contributions. As a nonprofit organization, we never turn away anyone who needs us. More than 30 percent of our participants receive some form of financial assistance, and the Y Friends program is one of the ways we can keep that promise to the community.
Reach Our Members & Program Participants
Along with supporting the community, Y Friends have an opportunity to market to our members and program participants. Tens of thousands of people throughout the northern front range participate in Y programs every year. Y Friends is an affordable way to reach locals while making a positive impact right in your own neighborhood.
There is a $500 annual fee to participate. Your Y Friends membership provides financial assistance to a family in need. $500 helps a child attend summer overnight camp or allows two children to enjoy summer day camp.
