Welcome to the Johnston YMCA
Founded in 1948, the Johnston YMCA is often referred to as “the Heart of NoDa.” Our branch reflects the eclectic nature of our community and the over 4,000 members that we serve.
Through a warm, welcoming environment, we provide health and wellness initiatives that help build mind, body and spirit for all. The Johnston YMCA also engages our community by inviting members and non-members to enjoy events together on our front lawn. Check out the Johnston YMCA class schedule and hours for classes near you!

It's how we empower communities.
ALL IN FOR THE Y
When we asked our community to go ALL IN for the Y and support our first virtual evening of impact, we weren't sure what to expect. Thanks to your generous support, our NOV 12 event was not only successful - it was RECORD-BREAKING! All In For The Y is officially the most successful fundraising event to date, raising more than $369,000 to support kids and families who need us most.
