🎉 There’s always something happening at Club Y! Kids need time to just PLAY. To move, make friends, build things, create, try something new, and sometimes make up a game that makes absolutely no sense to the adults.
That’s what Club Y is for.
This October, we’re bringing new weekly themes, activities, challenges, STEM Mondays, and plenty of room for kids to choose how they want to spend their time.
💙 Move. Connect. Discover. Create. Choose.
Club Y is available for family membership holders, Monday–Thursday from 4-8 PM for ages 5-12.
Check out what’s happening this month! 👇
Club Y: The YMCA. Where kids still play.

⚜️ WHO DAT, EJ! ⚜️
It’s a big football night in New Orleans as the Saints take on the Falcons, and this season marks 20 years since the Saints’ unforgettable return home to the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.
Whether you’re heading to the Dome, watching from home, or just hoping nobody bothers you during the game, we’re wishing the Black & Gold a good one tonight! 🖤💛
WHO DAT!

📖 Many thanks to Canal Barge Company!
Your support of the Corporate Classic 5K delivers vital funds for the YMCA Adult Literacy program — and every dollar tells a story of second chances, stronger families, and new beginnings.

Your support helps an adult learner take the first step toward reading their first book, applying for a job, or helping their child with homework. That’s the real finish line.
