Don Sjogren Community YMCA

The Don Sjogren Community YMCA is more than a gym — it’s a cornerstone of health, hope, and connection for Holdrege and the surrounding communities. Located in the heart of south-central Nebraska, our Y has served as a safe, welcoming place where individuals and families of all backgrounds can grow stronger — in spirit, mind, and body.

Every day, lives are changed within our walls. Children learn life-saving skills through swim lessons. Youth find confidence and mentorship through programs. Seniors stay active and connected through fitness and social activities. Families of all income levels find support and belonging, thanks to generous donors who believe, as we do, that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.

We proudly serve over 4,000 people each year and offer a wide range of programs that promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. And we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay. That commitment is only possible because of the support from people like you.

When you give to the Don Sjogren Community YMCA, you're not just supporting a facility — you're making a real and lasting difference in the lives of your neighbors. Every dollar raised helps provide financial assistance, maintain inclusive spaces, and expand life-changing programs for those who need them most.

This is your Y. This is your community. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier future for all.

Give today. Change lives. Be part of something bigger.
