TOPEKA, KS (August 28, 2024) — On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the Shawnee County District Court granted CoreFirst Bank and Trust declaratory judgment to sell the facilities at 3635 SW Chelsea Drive to the YMCA of Topeka. The decision is one step toward acquiring the building. It will take some time to work through all necessary steps before closing. In the interim, the YMCA of Topeka will continue normal operations, services, and programs to support our community.

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
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.
The Y strengthens communities through our three fundamental areas of impact: Youth Development, Health Living, and Social Responsibility.
The YMCA of Topeka is overseen by a Board of Directors that each bring their own diverse array of skills and perspectives to help steer the mission and strategic direction of the Y.
