YMCA of Alaska Capital Campaign
A Stronger Y for Alaska’s Future
A $6.5 million expansion to grow youth programs, improve community health, and ensure every Alaskan has a place to belong.
For nearly 60 years, the YMCA of Alaska has been a place where families come together, kids grow stronger, and community happens every day.
Today, demand for our programs has outgrown our space.
We’re expanding our Anchorage location to create more room for youth sports, wellness programs, and community connection. We’re ready to serve more people, more effectively, for generations to come.
See What’s Coming
What This Expansion Includes:
-
A full-size gymnasium for youth sports and community events
-
An elevated indoor walking track for year-round access
-
Expanded fitness and wellness space
-
New areas for youth programs and community gatherings
-
Improved accessibility and infrastructure
-
Expanded parking to support increased use
Why This Matters:
Every day, we see the impact of what the Y provides:
-
Kids building confidence through sports and mentorship
-
Families finding connection and support
-
Adults improving their health and well-being
But space limitations mean we can’t meet the full demand.
This expansion allows us to:
-
Serve more youth and families
-
Expand health and wellness programs
-
Reduce waitlists and increase access
-
Strengthen community connections across Anchorage
No one is turned away from the YMCA due to inability to pay, and this project ensures we can continue expanding access while meeting growing community needs.
