Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy mind, body and spirit for all! The Kankakee Area YMCA is more than just a gym. It’s a movement of thousands of people making positive changes in their lives and their community. The YMCA serves people from various walks of life, strengthening spirit, mind, and body and improving physical well-being in a healthy and friendly environment. The YMCA is Kankakee's premier provider of family health and wellness. The Y is the starting point for many youths to learn about becoming and staying active while developing healthy habits they'll carry with them throughout their lives. These benefits are far greater than just physical health, for they impact all aspects of daily living!
