YMCA of the Inland Northwest – Who We Are

At the YMCA of the Inland Northwest, we believe in strengthening the foundations of community through a commitment to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. For over 140 years, we’ve been a trusted nonprofit organization offering inclusive spaces and programs that help individuals and families thrive—regardless of age, income, or background.

With five welcoming locations and outreach throughout the region, the YMCA serves the greater Spokane area and Sandpoint, ID with a wide variety of programs designed to support well-being, nurture potential, and inspire meaningful connections.

Our Core Areas of Impact:

• Youth Development: We help young people grow into confident, capable, and caring adults through early childhood education, after-school programs, summer day camps, teen leadership opportunities, and youth sports like basketball, soccer, and swim team. All programs are rooted in values, skill-building, and fun.

• Healthy Living: From group exercise classes to wellness coaching, personal training, and aquatics, we empower members to prioritize their health in spirit, mind, and body. Our facilities include pools, modern fitness equipment, and access to YMCA360, a virtual platform with on-demand and livestreamed content. Whether you're just getting started or maintaining a lifelong routine, the Y supports you every step of the way.

• Social Responsibility: We work hand-in-hand with community partners to meet real needs through food distribution, free swim lessons, financial assistance, and volunteer opportunities. Every year, hundreds of volunteers give their time to strengthen their neighborhoods through Y programs and events.

Aquatics is a cornerstone of our offerings, with swim lessons for all ages, lifeguard certification courses, water fitness classes, and recreational swim. Safety around water is a critical life skill—and the Y is here to help everyone learn.

Our youth sports programs teach more than just the game. Kids develop teamwork, confidence, and a sense of belonging in an encouraging environment that values effort and growth over winning.

Through our annual fundraising efforts—including Annual Give Back Days, Giving Tuesday, and other donor-driven campaigns—we ensure that no one is turned away due to financial need. Every dollar raised stays local and directly supports access to Y programs and services.

Membership Benefits Include:

• Access to five local YMCA locations and participating YMCAs nationwide

• Two hours of free Child Watch each day

• A free Wellness Welcome session with a personal coach

• YMCA360 virtual platform for fitness anywhere

• Free guest passes to share the Y experience

• A supportive, inclusive environment for all ages

• Expanded weekend hours and family-friendly activities

The YMCA is more than a gym—we're a mission-driven community dedicated to helping you belong, grow, and give back. Whether you're here to get active, connect with others, or make a difference, the Y is here for you—every step of the way.
