The CHESTER FAMILY YMCA has been a place of strength and support since 1978. Over the years we’ve grown and expanded to serve generations of children, families and adults in Chesterfield County. While our programs and facilities have adapted over the years to serve the ever-changing needs of our community, one thing has remained the same—Where we build community matters.
Today, we need your support to help us create a Chester Y that will serve our community well into the future. A thoughtfully designed, fully accessible, and modern facility will provide an environment that better supports social and physical health for all and allows us to respond to community needs.
This is why a strong Chester Y is needed more than ever.
In our hallways and lobbies, classrooms and locker rooms - real connections form and children, teens and families grow stronger in spirit, mind and body.
Today, we need your support to help us create a Chester Y that will serve our community well into the future. With your support we can:
- Improve accessibility to ensure a barrier-free facility;
- Modernize the wellness center, adding 4,300 square feet including a group exercise studio
- Create welcoming gathering and community spaces for people to make meaningful connections;
- Revitalize outdoor spaces to enhance programming opportunities;
- Improve youth program spaces, including a relocated, expanded and improved Child Watch;
- Renovated men's and women's locker rooms, and new universal locker room.
Your gift today will support our next generation of kids and families. Our community is a wonderful place to live and raise a family; however, the needs in our community are evolving and so must the Y. We invite you to support the Chester Strong Campaign to transform your Y for today and future generations. Please join us as we build on the strength of our incredible community and ensure we are here for future generations. With your gift, the YMCA will continue our life-changing work to build a Chester strong community.
