About Us

The YMCA first opened in Elgin in 1866. We serve 3800 members in Fox River Valley communities such as Elgin, South Elgin, Gilberts, Dundee, Carpentersville, Hampshire, Geneva, St. Charles, Streamwood, and Bartlett. Special membership rates apply to Youths, Teens/students, Families, Seniors, and Single parent families. We are a charitable non-profit community service organization. (Section 501(c)(3)). With the help of charitable donations, we offer scholarship aid to qualifying members, so that "no youth is turned away for inability to pay".

The Prairie Valley Family YMCA is a non profit organization, open to all who seek a healthy spirit, mind, and body. We are dedicated through our core values of Caring, Respect, Honesty, and Responsibility, to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. We are for Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
