The “Y” engages everyone−regardless of age, income or background−to nurture youth development, improve health and well-being and provide opportunities to give back. The new Kirk Family YMCA in the heart of downtown Kansas City provides life-strengthening opportunities for all ages. State-of-the-art fitness, youth and family activities, swimming, an outdoor turf field, community meeting spaces, and volunteer engagement are just a few of the ways the Y is helping the downtown and surrounding community stay well in body, mind and spirit. Memberships and day passes are available. As part of the nationwide Y membership program, members of Ys across the country may visit the Kirk Y and other YMCA of Greater Kansas City locations as part of their home Y membership.
