Mat-SU YMCA of Alaska

It all began …………
When community leaders, parents, educators, and citizens noticed challenges faced by Mat-Su Valley residents. This group realized the lack of resources for fitness, youth development, and social interaction was hindering community well-being. Motivated to make a positive impact, they worked to bring YMCA services to Mat-Su Valley. They believed YMCA could transform the community by providing a safe space for individuals and families while encouraging community engagement. In 2018, the YMCA of Alaska formed an Advisory Board for Mat-Su YMCA, marking the start of program development. Today, Mat-Su YMCA leads various initiatives, including Tanaina Elementary’s before and after-school program, engaging Day Camps, and comprehensive swim lessons, all aimed at enriching the community’s growth
