Our staff is often asked, do you ever stop moving? The answer is...no, we don't!

Together with our volunteers, we move the Meriden YMCA forward every day.
Moving and grooving to music on
Autism Awareness Day


We work hard to turn every dollar that comes into our nonprofit organization into something that positively impacts families in our community.

The Meriden YMCA is here to help children and teens learn, grow and thrive, create healthier families, and give back to our neighbors who need a helping hand. No one is turned away due to an inability to pay.

In fact, we are on the move this entire weekend!

Tonight, Friday April 25th:
  • After this weekend Exploration Station will close temporarily while we find a larger space to relocate to as we make way for downtown redevelopment. We will let you know about future Date Nights as well.
Tomorrow, Saturday April 26th:
  • I love a parade! Come march with us in the Daffodil Parade! Marchers go to Westerly Terrace, if you are riding on the float it will be at Gwen Road. Line up no later than 10:45 a.m. Call us with any questions at 203-235-6386.  
  • We are moving CrossFit Meriden from 88 State Street to 11 Crown Street. We are very excited to move to our larger location and we're adding new equipment!   

Phylis is doing CrossFit now and so am I. If we can do it so can you! Join us!

Best in health,

Joan Goodman
