Welcome to our local YMCA, where we provide health, childcare, and philanthropic services in the Licking County, West Licking County and Muskingum County areas.

Who We Are

The Buckeye Valley Family YMCA is a member service organization committed to providing programs and services to meet the needs of our community. We are committed to providing quality programs and services with the highest level of professionalism. We endeavor to provide clean, safe facilities with the most up-to-date equipment available. We always seek to exceed members expectations at every opportunity. 

No one will be turned away due to the inability to pay.

Invest in Our Mission

The YMCA movement is unique. We fill a void in the community. The YMCA welcomes and supports all individuals and families. We help develop and instill values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. The YMCA is a place for people of all ages, races, religions, incomes and abilities. We truly believe that we do build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

Be a part of Our Community

Our Principles are defined as love, respect, honesty, responsibility, and service. These principles set us apart in all that we do. More than a health provider, the Y’s mission is to engage the entire person spirit, mind, and body.
