For Youth Development

We believe that all kids deserve opportunities to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our Y focuses on preparing more kids for success in school and life by providing education and support, along with the physical and emotional guidance kids need to learn, grow and thrive. For Healthy Living

The Y brings families together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, child care and fun. Also our Y plays a key role in helping health seekers decrease their risk of lifestyle-related diseases and improve overall health. For Social Responsibility

The Y has been listening and responding to our community needs for over 40 years. We provide social services that support and empower people to overcome obstacles, provide volunteer opportunities, raise and award funds for financial assistance for those individuals and families that need a Y experience but cannot afford one. The Y collaborates with other organizations that share our values to build a healthier community

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage of the first responders, service members and everyday people who stepped forward to help others.

We remember the families and communities forever changed by that day.

Twenty-five years later, may we continue to choose compassion, care for our neighbors and find strength in standing together.

We remember. We honor. We stand together.

⚽🏀 Get ready for Youth Indoor Soccer & Basketball at the Y!

Registration is OPEN through October 25 for Youth Indoor Soccer and Basketball at the Hickory Foundation YMCA and Adrian L. Shuford Jr. YMCA!

Youth Sports are about more than learning the game. Kids build confidence, develop skills, make friends, and learn what it means to be a great teammate. Through every practice and game, we encourage our core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Faith, and Responsibility.

Give your child a place to play, grow, and belong this season. https://buff.ly/rBB0Uyh

It's Motivational Monday

You don’t have to have everything figured out to move forward. Sometimes progress starts with one small choice: showing up, trying something new, encouraging someone else or simply taking the next step.

Whatever your goal is this week, start from where you are today. 💪

Congratulations to Sylvia Barber, our Hickory Foundation YMCA July Senior Punch Card winner!

Our monthly Senior Punch Card program is a great way to stay active and stay connected at the Y. At the start of each month, pick up a new Punch Card and get it punched at the front desk with every visit. When you reach 10 visits in one month, your card will be entered into a prize drawing. Each new month brings a new opportunity to keep moving, build healthy habits, and enjoy being part of our Y community.
