MARION COUNTY YMCA

Thank you for your participation in Marion County YMCA programs.

Since 2016, the Y has partnered with the City of Salem to develop and implement youth development and wellness programs that ensure individuals and families in Salem had opportunities that allow them to learn, grow, and thrive. 

Beginning October 1, 2024, the City has chosen to take over administration of these programs and will no longer rely on the Y. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the City for its partnership and for the opportunity to deliver these programs. We are also sincerely grateful for Jed Casburn, who has led these efforts from the beginning. 

During this time, Y program offerings included kids night out, healthy cooking classes, men’s basketball tournaments, flag football, preschool sports, junior high school esports, and summer camp. Community programs included Hungry Hearts, Community Thanksgiving Dinner, back-to-school supply drive, and the blanket and toy drive. Through those efforts, we proudly partnered with Saved with Amazing Grace, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Hungry Hearts, the Salem Community Center, the Salem Community High School and others.

We are proud of the work we have done and the positive impact we have had on youth and adults in the community, and we hope there will be opportunities again in the future to work with the City of Salem. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
