What's Happening at the Kenosha YMCA?

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Our Annual Campaign kicked off with an inspiring start at our Luncheon on November 6th, raising thousands of dollars to support our mission! However, we still need your help to reach our goal of $100,000 by the end of the year.
Your support impacts programs like:
  • Achievers Program: Boosting academic and emotional skills for students at Frank Elementary.
  • John & Judy Wavro Scholarship Program: Making YMCA memberships and programs accessible to all.
  • Safety Around Water: Offering life-saving swim lessons for kids and adults.
  • Livestrong® at the YMCA: Empowering cancer survivors through health and fitness.
  • Miracle League & Adaptive Sports: Creating opportunities for all kids to play, regardless of ability.
Double Your Impact! All gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000! Help us build a stronger, healthier community. Donate today!

Fall II is underway!

What's New?

Meet our Employee of Excellence: Juan Gutierrez!

Juan Gutierrez is a true standout at the Member Service Desk, where his friendly smile and positive attitude brighten everyone’s day. He was drawn to work at the Y because he’s always wanted to work somewhere that makes a difference in the community. His kindness and dedication have made a big impact. “I love my job, so I make sure to do my best every day while I’m here!”

Nominated by multiple directors for going above and beyond his normal desk responsibilities, Juan always welcomes members warmly and goes out of his way to make sure they feel at home. Our members love seeing his familiar face when they walk in. “I enjoy getting to know our members – I love seeing my regulars and it’s cool that I get to be a part of their Y journey.”

Outside of work, Juan enjoys spending time with his wife and kids. He’s also going to school for digital marketing, so when time allows, they love going to waterparks, movies, and other fun spots together. They also come to the Y together! “I’m grateful for the Y and appreciative for the free membership, which helps my family a lot.”

Thank you for going the extra mile, Juan!
