The Young Men's Christian Association "builds strong
kids, strong families and strong communities."
The YMCA provides activities for the entire family
and individuals of all ages. "From the cradle to the grave, so to speak,"
said Joe Casa Santa, associate executive director at the Lafayette YMCA.
He said there are activities such as swimming, youth sports, aerobics
and fitness training. It also provides childcare for families that are
members.
A membership costs $19 a month and is offered to
anyone interested. That money, as well as program fees, funds the YMCA
and help keep its doors open, said Casa Santa.
He also said all kinds of people work at the YMCA
and applications are available to anyone who wants to work there.
Chris Bergin, executive director, said, "The YMCA
not only provides recreation for Purdue students, but also employment
and volunteer opportunities."
Bergin said the YMCA draws a lot of Purdue students
as volunteer coaches, day camp counselors and childcare instructors,
to mention a few of the opportunities. "You name it, we have Purdue
students working it," he said The YMCA is located at 1950 S. 18th Street
in Lafayette.
