WHO WE ARE
The YMCA is a cause-driven organization focused on three key areas: youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We believe a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, health, and neighbors. Our programs, services, and initiatives enable youth to realize their potential, offer families ways to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind, and body, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster social responsibility. The Moultrie Y strives daily to be the lead provider of Fitness, Family, and Fun for ALL.
OUR MISSION
To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
The values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. At the Y, children and teens learn values and positive behaviors, and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential.
FOR HEALTHY LIVING
Improving our community’s health and well-being.
Being healthy is about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. At the Y you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself with new activities, fostering connections with neighbors, or joining family-centered activities.
FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
The generosity of others is at the core of the Y’s existence as a nonprofit. It is only through the support of hundreds of volunteers and public and private donors that we are able to support and give back to our communities.
THE MOULTRIE YMCA
With over 100 years of service in the Moultrie and Colquitt County community, the Moultrie YMCA offers programs and services for ALL. The main campus is a 65,000-square foot facility that houses the Indoor Aquatics Facility, Sports Performance Center with CrossFit equipment and turf, LIFT+ room with additional free weights, Group Exercise room, Wellness Center, Gymnastics Center boasting 2 National Championship titles, Teen Room, Child Watch, Coffee on the Rocks, a half-court basketball gym, one racquetball courts, multiple soccer fields, 6 outdoor lighted pickleball courts, outdoor basketball court, a 35-acre Adventure Course which includes the Alpine Tower, Zip Line, low elements, Paintball course, walking and biking trails and the obstacle course for the Annual Chick-fil-A Rugged Run.
The Moultrie Y Childcare Center is a state-licensed facility through Bright From the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning that offers quality childcare for children six weeks to 4 years of age. The Childcare Center is committed to strengthening families through quarterly Family Engagement opportunities that educate caregivers on literacy and teaches fun ways to ensure their child is Pre-K ready.
The nearby Pineland Y is home to our 21st Century Community Learning Center which is a federally funded program that offers students a broad array of enrichment and academic activities. It also offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. The 3-year-old classroom is also located at the Pineland Y, along with a commercial teaching kitchen that hosts our Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) in partnership with the Walmart Foundation to provide over 200 meals each school day to children in Y after-school programs like 21st Century and PRIMETIME. PRIMETIME is an after-school program held at every elementary school in Colquitt County. Each of the nine sites provides a safe place for children from Pre-K to 5th grade while parents are still at work. Homework Help is also offered at each site. The Pineland Y basketball gym is a full-court facility used for basketball and houses our Inflatable Fun Park. There are also multiple fields for soccer and flag football at the Pineland campus.
The Downtown Y is located at 9 1st Street SE and is a 24/7 facility. The Moultrie Y started in a small building in downtown Moultrie in 1916 and after 107 years, the Y returned to the heart of downtown. This location is just one more way our Y is working to serve ALL by breaking down the barriers of time constraints and accessibility. The Downtown Y also has a Group Exercise studio and often leads classes on the courthouse lawn under the beautiful magnolia trees. In August of 2021 the Doerun 24/7 Y opened and includes cardio equipment, free weights, a Freedom trainer and recumbent bikes.
