Welcome to the YMCA of Topeka

We're an inclusive organization of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility.

Our Strength is in Community

The Y is a nonprofit like no other. That’s because in 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver, positive change. 

• The Y is community centered. For nearly 160 years, we’ve been listening and responding to our communities.

• The Y brings people together. We connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.

• The Y nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

• The Y has local presence and global reach. We mobilize local communities to effect lasting, meaningful change.

Our Impact is Felt Every Day

With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all, our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good.
