The Greater Valley YMCA is a volunteer-led, nonprofit, community organization. The Y is committed to strengthening community by positively changing lives every day. At each of our branches, we concentrate our efforts in three areas: Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility. And we do so in a way that upholds the Y’s traditional family values of Respect, Responsibility, Caring, and Honesty.
For over 100 years, the Y has made tangible differences in the communities of Allentown, Bethlehem, Catasauqua, Easton, Forks, Nazareth, those comprising the Slate Belt region and the Lehigh Valley as a whole. Founded as individual YMCAs as early as 1897, the following branches of the Greater Valley Y merged together between 2010 and 2015: the Nazareth YMCA, the Suburban North Family YMCA, the Family YMCA of Easton, Phillipsburg & Vicinity and the Bethlehem YMCA. In 2014, the Forks YMCA Education Center was established. The Slate Belt branch was opened in 2015. In January 2017, the Allentown YMCA joined the Greater Valley YMCA.

MONDAY MOTIVATION: Setting goals are great motivators to keep you focused and accountable. Keep hustling to the finish line and remember forward is a pace. As long as you are going in the right direction it doesn't matter how long it takes to reach your goals and to the finish line!
Today was yet another great day at the Y! Staff from all of our Branches gathered together to develop a strategic roadmap on how we will serve you and the community in our areas of expertise: Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
