YMCA Corner

We're proud that our National Partner, YMCA of the USA, is supporting our Steptember campaign in almost every state from coast to coast! Over 1,000 YMCAs are planning a variety of fun-filled events and activities during America On the Move Week at the YMCA from September 23-30, 2006.

These events aim to motivate and mobilize thousands of Americans to take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle.  Through this partnership, America On the Move and the YMCA will inspire individuals and families to incorporate healthier living activities into their daily routines through "small steps" to get them active and moving.

America On the Move Week at the YMCA is a part of the YMCA's national initiative known as YMCA Activate America, which is rallying YMCAs across the country to further enhance their service and support to kids, adults, and families who want a healthier lifestyle, but struggle to do so.  As a part of YMCA Activate America, YMCAs are also deepening their commitment to community-wide efforts to promote healthy living and intensifying their collaboration with other community partners to magnify their impact.

YMCAs nationwide will track both the number of people that participate in America On the Move Week at the YMCA and the number of steps taken by individuals in these activities. The goal for America On the Move Week at the YMCA is to reach one billion steps across the country during this designated week. We can get there with your help!

Help the YMCA reach their goal.  Get involved today!
