Our Focus
The Summerville Family YMCA is and will be always be here for good. We are dedicated to building healthy, confident and connected children, adults and families. Every day our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy lifestyle choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when our community comes together for the common good.
