Inclement Weather Closing Procedures
In the event the YMCA facility OR our child care/preschool programs close due to severe inclement weather, an announcement will be made here, on Facebook and Twitter, and on Indiana 105.5.
In our commitment to serve our members and community, the Valparaiso Family YMCA facility rarely closes. Our school-age child care and preschool programs follow the Valparaiso Community Schools. When VCS closes, there will be no school-age and preschool programming.
NOTE: Child Watch does remain open when the YMCA is open.
Volunteers Needed
The YMCA relies on the service of our volunteers. We currently have openings in all program areas, including Child Watch, Wellness, and Facility Tour Guides. If you have a few hours to share each week and would like to join a great group of people who help us meet our needs, please call Jodi Jackson at 462-4185 x. 233.
