Central Coast YMCA

As June comes to a close, we're taking a moment to reflect on the importance of moving our bodies and calming our minds.

Last month, we joined the 2026 MYBCYM Day of Action and had the pleasure of seeing so many members prioritizing their well-being through movement, connection, and community. It was an inspiring reminder that even the smallest steps toward wellness can make a meaningful difference.

As we welcome a new month, and the second half of the year, we encourage you to continue finding ways to care for both your body and mind. Whether it's taking a few deep breaths or taking on an unplugged workout every step toward better health matters.

Let's keep moving, keep connecting, and keep making wellness a priority all year long. 💙

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads and father figures in our community! 💙 Today, we celebrate your love, support, and impact. Thank you for helping us grow, dream, and thrive. May your day be filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments with those who matter most.

Please join us in celebrating our CEO, Amy Grames who was recently recognized by Monterey Bay Sirens as one of the women making a difference in our communities.

This recognition reflects Amy’s dedication to strengthening communities, creating opportunities for youth and families, and advancing the YMCA’s mission throughout Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties.

We are proud to have her leadership guiding the Central Coast YMCA and grateful for the impact she makes every day.

Congratulations, Amy, past Y board member Jackie Cruz, Ed. D. and to all of the inspiring women who were honored for their contributions to our region.

...AND THE UNDEFEATED STREAK CONTINUES! ⚽🧜‍♀️💙

What a night with the MBFC Sirens! We had a blast welcoming fans with YMCA day passes, connecting with families at our craft and information station, and cheering on our little ones as they took part in the youth parade.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped make the evening so special. We're proud to support opportunities that bring our community together and inspire the next generation.

Go Sirens! 💙⚽

Across California, YMCAs offer hundreds of aquatic programs that help children and families build water safety skills. From swim lessons to Safety Around Water programs and lifeguard training, these programs help communities prepare for safe time in and around water. Through these programs, Ys across the state expand access to lifesaving water safety education. At the YMCA, water safety starts here.

As temperatures rise, more families head to pools, lakes, and beaches across California. Nearly half of drowning deaths in the state occur during the summer months, making water safety awareness especially important this time of year. Learning water safety skills and staying attentive around water can help prevent tragedies. At the YMCA, water safety starts here.
