A MESSAGE FROM THE BRANCH EXECUTIVE Welcome to the Mill Creek YMCA. Spring has arrived and we are getting ready for another great summer of camps and fun at the YMCA. It is so heartwarming to walk into the Y and see the seniors interacting, the child care staff engaged with the children, and the wellness classes as full as ever. The Y serves so many people from every age and ability, from those with the ability to pay and those who are sponsored. We make such a difference in the community and provide a sense of belonging to all we serve. We just wrapped up another successful Annual Campaign. The Annual Campaign is about being able to say “Yes”. Our goal is never to turn anyone away because of their inability to pay. This year, our community raised over $128,000 for our Annual Campaign. Thank you to our YMCA members, local businesses, and community members for donating generously. Our hope is to not just raise money for scholarship dollars, but also to tell our story to the community. We make such an impact through what we do:
30% of our child care participants are receiving some
form of financial assistance. The Mill Creek Y swim team hosted their very first home swim meet. We are offering SilverSneaker® programs, and this year we have added the Silver and Fit program, which has allowed us to reach out to even more seniors through their health care provider. We are serving over 20 people through our Pedaling for Parkinson’s program, the first of its kind in the County. 1600 kids will learn new skills and make new friends in YMCA youth sport programs this year.
We are one of the largest charities in the country and, without the support of our community, we could not have such an important impact on those who live here. Thank you for all you do - your efforts change lives every day! - Kyla Smith, Branch Executive Director

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION NOW IT’S EASIER THAN EVER TO JOIN THE Y! Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The YMCA of Snohomish County is a membership organization and anyone can join. So, with simple monthly dues, you have no contracts or minimum stays to worry about and no sales pitches to endure. Just quality, healthy programs that your whole family can enjoy.
MEMBERSHIP TYPES FACILITY MEMBERSHIP Get full access to fitness centers at all five YMCAs in Snohomish County with a Facility Membership. Choose from a wide menu of free group exercise classes, enjoy lap and recreational swimming, and receive a free wellness orientation when you join. And as a facility member, you’ll be eligible for priority registration and reduced fees on specialty classes and programs for your whole family. PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP If you’re not already a Y Facility Member and want to participate in programs like summer camps, youth sports, swimming lessons and child care, you’ll need an annual Program Membership. You’ll receive the same great level of quality and caring for which the Y is known, but without access to wellness centers and other amenities offered through a full Facility Membership. COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP Belonging is a philosophy at the heart of the Y. Everyone in the community is considered a free Community Member and is welcome to participate in key community events and programs such as fun runs, health fairs, and community education. MY Y IS NOW EVERY Y IN WASHINGTON We want to encourage members to use the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to use a Y in a different location when travelling, near a workplace, or in another region. Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members can use other Y facilities throughout the state. See website for program details. CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP As part of the YMCA’s corporate membership plan, employees will enjoy the benefits of belonging to Snohomish County’s largest and most respected health, wellness, and human service organization. For more information about corporate membership, please contact the our Senior Director of Member and Community Engagement. MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL We believe everyone deserves a Y experience, so the YMCA of Snohomish County offers financial assistance to individuals and families who might otherwise not be able to afford membership or program fees. Ask a staff member about financial assistance.

CHILD CARE CHILD CARE (CONT.) SCHOOL AGE LICENSED CHILD CARE BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL (CONT.)

Anyone can benefit from the wide variety of aquatic classes available. Check out our current Class Schedule for class times and descriptions.

As a group we plan, plant, build, and grow veggies through most seasons. We work as a team; everyone plays a role to help our garden grow! Most of our labor is done in March and then again in the fall. If you are curious about this great group the best time to get involved is over the winter during our planning process. However, you are welcome to go for a walk and see what’s going on. Please remember to close the gate as it helps to keep the bunnies out.
