We Make a Local Difference
The Y is dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults and families.
Youth Development
We believe in cultivating the potential of every child and teen. The Y creates safe, structured environments for young people to do and become their best.
Through high-quality programs grounded in youth development theory, we harness our community’s investment in kids in Walla Walla and surrounding towns. The Y is often the first employer for young people entering the labor pool.
Healthy Living
We believe that with connections and support, everyone, at every age, can make healthier choices.
We are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and families.
At the Y there is something for every body of every age and ability
Social Responsibility
We believe that when we work together, we move individuals, families and communities forward. Since inception, the Y has provided programs responsive to society’s most pressing needs by uniting people from all walks of life to deliver lasting personal and social change in the region.
We are pleased to collaborate with other area support organizations that offer unique solutions that share our mission of building a strong and healthy community.
The Y is a Community Resource
The Y: Where Everyone Finds Community. At the Y, we build strong communities. We offer programs and support for everyone, from new parents, children and teens to college students, young professionals and health seekers. The Y is a place where all people are respected and welcome and receive what they need to thrive.
Today, the Y is among the largest onsite licensed nonprofit childcare providers for children ages 1-12 in the valley. At the Y, youth learn values, positive behaviors, explore their talents, and build teamwork and self-confidence.
