The "Y" is a place where people of all ages, races, economic levels, and abilities can interact positively while improving their health.

The Family YMCA of Emporia-Greensville opened locally in June 2001 in a store-front facility on North Main Street. Following two expansions, the Y embarked on a capital campaign securing over $4.4 million in funding to build a new, 27,612 square foot full-facility operation. Currently, the Y offers a wellness center, group fitness studios, cycling studio, conference room, school-age childcare, pre-school, a teen leaders program, childwatch, full-size gymnasium, indoor walking track, outdoor climbing wall, playground and athletic field. Fulfilling it mission, "To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all," the Y is a place where people of all ages, races, economic levels, and abilities can interact positively while improving their health.
