With the craziness that is 2020, we are looking forward to changing the calendar from December to January. A new year is filled with potential and the chance to start fresh. After the busy holiday season filled with delicious treats, it’s not surprising that, according to a 2019 survey, 65 percent of people resolved to exercise more with the New Year.

But what if your New Year’s resolution could benefit more than just yourself? When you join community-based organizations like the Y, you are committing to more than simply becoming healthier; you are supporting the values and programs that strengthen the communities where you live.

“Community-based organizations like the Y provide the resources and opportunities that people need to reach their full potential and supporting those organizations through membership and philanthropy helps ensure they can continue to help build the communities we all want to live in,” said Damon Olsen, YMCA Executive Director.

Membership at the James Family Prescott YMCA helps provide support for programs that address school readiness, chronic disease prevention, employment skills training, teen leadership and so much more.  From athletics to academic achievement, gymnastics to global education, and volleyball to volunteerism, the Y does not just strengthen bodies—it strengthens people, families, and communities.

“As our friends and neighbors look to make themselves healthier in the New Year, we want them to remember that when they join the James Family Prescott YMCA, they’re not simply joining a gym—they’re joining a community,” said Ryan Harlow, Membership Director. “The Y brings together people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and generations and ensures that we all have access to the opportunities, relationships, and resources necessary to learn, grow, and thrive.”
