Member Testimonials

I like that in the before school program the kids are able to run around and play and get a little energy out before they actually go to school.

I’m incredibly grateful for everything the YMCA has done—and continues to do—for my boys and me. Finding childcare I can truly trust has been a challenge, especially given my concerns about safety. But from the very beginning, the YMCA created a sense of comfort and reassurance that I didn’t think was possible.

Watching my boys settle in so easily, full of joy and excitement, brought me a deep sense of peace. Knowing they are in a safe, caring, and supportive environment has made a world of difference for me, especially during stressful times.

The kindness, compassion, and consistent support from the YMCA staff have not gone unnoticed. They’ve had a truly meaningful impact on our lives, and I’m deeply appreciative. I can’t recommend the YMCA highly enough.

Kids keep saying that they enjoy everything

Camilo has done so great and loves all of the staff at SilverHill. James is great, communicates and checks in regularly. The staff are also just so great, welcoming and help Camilo with what he needs.

You offer a wide range of activities - arts and crafts, gym/outdoor time, library, etc.

The Y has everything I need to get strong and stay fit!

Community. The staff is friendly and supportive. The equipment is good. Some of the facilities need to be upgraded like the steam room and elliptical machines. Overall very good experience

the staff

Great equipment, friendly environment and clean facility.

It provides opportunities for families to meet and exercise together. In my case, I have been doing yoga, and there is an opportunity to use the gym space for Pickleball. I’m sure that I haven’t taken advantage of all that there is, but I hope to in the future.

Child is content with the activities

My daughter has been attending the school age before and after school program for about two years now. The staff are very friendly and keep the kids engaged and entertained. Homework help is offered which is a big help for families who are stuck working late hours. The staff go above and beyond to make sure every kid feels safe and welcomed. I can’t say enough about the Y program and what they have to offer.

The swim instructor{Kathrina} being patient with the kids and encouraging them that they can do it.Going above and beyond making them comfortable in the water and learning new skills.
My kids look forward to swim classes every week.

Staff is great. Professional and courteous. They're well trained to handle our kids.

The Jr. Celtics program is very well run. The coaches, especially Coach Charles were great and really helped my son improve his basketball and social skills this season! His approach/ability to connect with the kids was really impressive. Communication from Paul was always clear and timely. Thanks for a wonderful season!
