Serving the community since 1869, The Family YMCA of Northwest Illinois has been a hub for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Founded with a vision from Dwight L. Moody, we provide inclusive programs for all ages. Located on the Highland Community College campus since 1980, we strengthen the community by ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—regardless of age, income, or background. For a better us.
