The La Crosse Area Family YMCA Youth Programs are part of the La Crosse Area Family Y, a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the community by promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being for all. The YMCA reports serving 33,000 total members annually, with about 3,500 daily visits to its branches and more than 150 fitness classes offered each week. As part of its broader work, the organization serves nearly 200,000 meals and snacks each year and provides more than $1 million in direct financial assistance annually, allowing nearly 25% of members to participate. The YMCA notes that it employs about 1,200 employees each year.
The YMCA highlights several related programs and events, including a Couch to 5K beginner-friendly 8-week training program that features coach-led workouts, a weekly training plan, recovery and injury prevention tips, support from coaches and fellow participants, and complimentary entry to the Maple Leaf Walk/Run 5K sponsored by Emplify Health. It also hosts the Maple Leaf Walk Run, identified as the 27th Annual Maple Leaf Walk Run to help benefit the Y’s Food Program. The organization describes its community involvement as a collaboration between Emplify Health and the La Crosse Area Family YMCA for a healthier, stronger community, and it notes receiving funding through the Otto Bremer Trust Community Responsive Fund, with Great Rivers United Way providing leadership in nominating the organization and United Way of Wisconsin administering the grant.
