The Ozarks Regional YMCA is a cause-driven organization dedicated to Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. We help make A Better Us by being a leader in our community for youth sports, water safety, child care, senior programs and more. The Y relies on the generosity of donors to continue serving the increasing needs in our community.

You'll find talented, committed people of all ages, backgrounds and life experiences working for the Ozarks Regional YMCA. The Y is a place where values-based behavior is the norm and you can expect to be treated with care, respect, honesty and responsibility. Plus, we offer terrific benefits to help you grow stronger in spirit, mind and body, even as you're helping others.

All kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why our Y nurtures the potential of thousands of local children and teens by cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they'll carry with them throughout their lives.And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it's building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship or being part of a team, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

The Y childcare programs offer a variety of options for families. Program include Before and/after school care, Summer Day Camp, Before and/or after EXPLORE!. Studies show participation in these programs help boost school attendance, academic performance and reduce gaps in academic achievement. All Y programs are designed to serve families who need quality child care throughout the year.

Besides being great exercise and a challenging sport, swimming is a life skill. The Y offers swim lessons of all kinds for all ages-family swim, competitive swim teams, and many types of adaptive-swim programs for kids and adults with special needs. We want everybody to be safe while they enjoy the pleasures of being around and in the water.
