YMCA OF THE PRAIRIEWith Branches in Holdrege and Lexington

OUR CAUSE:A STRONGER COMMUNITYThe Y. So Much More.

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause.

Through our focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, we embrace and

nurture the promise that lies in all of us. The Y

gives children, families and individuals the support

and resources they need to be more healthy,

confident, connected and secure.

The YMCA of the Prairie is special in that it

also connects communities with its two branches

in Holdrege and Lexington. Through sharing

resources, we can better strengthen both

communities.

This is our first guide that combines programs at

both locations into one publication. You will notice

an (H) for Holdrege or an (L) for Lexington after

each listing to help show where that program will

take place. We hope this guide helps you find many

ways to become more connected this fall.

We invite you to participate in one or more of the

following events that showcase our work in social

responsibility:
