WORKPLACE WELLNESS

A Supplemental Employee Benefit Designed To Promote A Healthier Workforce

WORKPLACE WELLNESS

The YMCA shares your concern for the health and wellness of your employees and their families. Employers that champion pathways towards healthier living, experience numerous benefits. The YMCA’s Corporate Employee Workplace Wellness Program may help attract and retain employees, is easy to participate in, and can be achieved at no cost depending on tier level. Businesses large and small may participate. 

Our program provides your employees an unparalleled variety of wellness options. Beyond engaging your employees individually and offering 100+ group exercise programs, aquatics, and youth sports programs, we administer numerous chronic disease prevention programs. Additionally, the Y will customize programs tailored around the specific needs of your business, which includes the delivery of on-site (workplace) group exercise programs. Or, if your organization has multiple locations (offices, plants, facilities, stores, schools, etc.), we can manage unifying and morale-boosting wellness challenges across locations.

Enrolling your business is a simple process:
1. Confirm your preference of either Option A or B via LOA
2. Schedule a 7-day complimentary trial for all
employees and their household family members

SPECIAL EVENTS

Camp Fitch YMCA Polar Bear Plunge

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend Camp Fitch YMCA. To turn that mission into reality, Camp Fitch has hosted their annual Polar Bear Plunge for the last 15 years! Staff, alumni, campers, and anyone else who wants to join the cause jump into the icy waters of Lake Erie with the same purpose: to give the life-changing opportunity of camp to kids who would otherwise be unable to afford. All are welcome to join the fun (without any pressure to jump in Lake Erie)! We will have food, games, and raffles for everyone to participate in.

Davis Family YMCA Golf Outing

The Davis Family YMCA is committed to strengthening the foundations of our community. For 13 years we have hosted the annual golf outing, raising funds to ensure that YMCA programs and membership opportunities are accessible for all, regardless of financial means. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or trying it for the first time, this event is a hole-in-one for fun, fellowship, and community impact! Swing by for a day of golf, great company, and the chance to support the charitable work of the YMCA of Youngstown.

Central YMCA Gala

Join us for the First Annual Central Gala, where we’ll come together to celebrate the impact we’re making in our community. The theme for this year’s event, A Better Future Starts with You, will highlight the YMCA’s ongoing mission to strengthen our community through programs that promote healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility. The event will take place on September 25, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Maronite Center. Please wear your semi-formal evening attire that reflects the elegance of the occasion and the spirit of connection we nurture at the Y. This is a chance to make a lasting difference while enjoying an evening filled with hope, impact, and inspiration. We look forward to sharing this experience with you!
