YMCA
MILWAUKEE - The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee announced that after months of dedicating its Northside facility to emergency relief for families, the Y will be able to reopen its doors for limited programs on Monday, March 1.
In the coming year, the Y revealed it will also work on expanding to a new long-term home in the neighborhood.
Carrie Wall, president and CEO, issued the following statement in the release:
"We’ve proven our model can help our community thrive through incredible challenges, so now it’s time to make bolder moves for our mission. The Y is working to build a more equitable, community-based health ecosystem. And the next step of that growth will be in the heart of a neighborhood that has stood with us through these shifts."
A news release indicates the Northside Y will reallocate its limited space to resume a variety of key programs:
- Silver Sneakers for seniors mid-mornings
- Early-morning basketball and group exercise in the gym
- Group exercise and basketball in the evenings
