YMCA of Greater Charlotte

YMCA of Greater Charlotte At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We're more than a gym. We're a cause.

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. The Y is a charity, dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With programs from A to Z - like athletics to advocacy, dance classes to disease prevention, volleyball to volunteerism - we don't just strengthen ind

ividuals, we strengthen an entire community. Every day, we take on challenges that will shape our community's future - challenges like the academic achievement gap, obesity and social isolation. Together with our members, volunteers, donors and community partners, we make our community stronger by focusing on three philanthropic priorities:

- Driving academic achievement and inspiring kids to reach their greatest potential
- Tackling our community's greatest health challenges and improving quality of life
- Ensuring access and inclusion so that everyone has a chance to succeed and belong

For more than 150 years, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte has evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. Today, we're taking an important step toward our future.

We announced a long-term reinvestment strategy designed to strengthen our facilities, expand program capacity and create more opportunities for connection, health and well-being across the Charlotte region.

This includes entering into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Morrison YMCA property. While change can be difficult, this opportunity allows us to accelerate investments that will help position the YMCA to serve future generations.

The Morrison YMCA will remain open and fully operational through the anticipated closing in summer 2027, and we remain committed to supporting our members, staff and community every step of the way.

Great school year. Greater summer ahead. ☀️

Camp Thunderbird Day Camp is just a bus ride away from Harris YMCA.

If you're still looking for the right camp for your child—or their preferred camp week is full—there's still time to give them an incredible summer filled with outdoor adventures, lake days, and new friendships.

Transportation to and from Harris YMCA is available for one low-cost weekly fee, with campers returning to Harris for pickup at the end of the day.

1 Week is Great. 2 Weeks is Greater. ☀️💙

The first week helps campers get comfortable.
The second week is where friendships grow deeper, confidence grows stronger, and camp truly starts to feel like home.

With select two-week sessions at Camp Thunderbird, campers get more time to grow, connect, and experience everything camp has to offer.

A huge thank you to the Deloitte team for spending their National Impact Day with the YMCA of Greater Charlotte. 💙

Last week, their volunteers rolled up their sleeves at one of our program centers and made a lasting impact by removing bamboo, painting picnic tables, spreading mulch, digging irrigation lines, and building new garden beds.

Because of their hard work and dedication to service, this space is even more welcoming and beautiful for the children, families, and community members we serve.

Joy was with us every step of the way at Run! Ballantyne.❤️ Even when the rain rolled in, runners kept moving, cheering, and smiling through it all.

Our Official Joy Sponsor, Coca-Cola Consolidated, was right there with us. Their VP & Chief of Staff, Ashley Witt, even kicked off her birthday celebrations by running the 8K with the Y community.

Thankfully, today's Global Running Day weather looked a little different. ☀️ Did you get out for a run today?
