JOIN US, FRIENDS!
At the Y, we believe we have something special—a sense of community—that provides a welcoming place
for everyone. Our members, program participants, volunteers and staff include men, women and children
of all ages and from all walks of life. Here, you’re not a member of a facility; you’re part of a community
and a cause—where you can improve the lives of others while enhancing your own.
The Y is a nonprofit like no other. Join us and belong to a place where:
• Parents find a safe, positive environment for children to learn good values, social skills and behaviors.
• Families come together to have fun and spend quality time with each other.
• Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they can achieve, and are accepted.
• Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier.
• Communities thrive because neighbors support each other and give back.
• We all build relationships that further our sense of belonging and purpose.
We are committed to meeting needs and changing lives. Our programs and services will continue to
evolve, but our unwavering willingness and ability to support our community will always be at the core of
the Y. We’re for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
For a better you. For a better community. For a better us.™

SWIM LESSONS
Here at the B.R. Ryall YMCA, we are proud of
our rich history of teaching children to love
water and to swim. Swimming is an important
life skill that all kids should learn at an early
age. Our classes help little ones gain the
confidence and skills necessary to be safe and
have fun in the water—which will later bring a
lifetime of memories and experiences.
Our lessons are structured to promote incremental and
consistent improvement. Each level has been developed for
the specific needs of that age group. Class sizes are small

abilities in a safe environment.

NO PAIN, BIG GAIN
Muoi Sears of Glen Ellyn is always on her feet, and always moving—
both in her work as a server and in her free time. So when she started
experiencing debilitating pain in her feet three years ago, it was a
potentially life-altering issue. In addition to having arthritis in her knees
and legs, Muoi was diagnosed with planter fasciitis. After injections in
her foot provided no relief, she was told she would need surgery.
Despite the pain Muoi refused to give up her active lifestyle, so she
joined the Y in November 2014 to keep moving. She started running,
and became a regular in Ada’s Cycle, Gilda’s Half and Half, and Suzi’s
Body Pump classes, where she found motivation from her instructors
and fellow Y members. Not only did she quickly lose 10 pounds, she also
eliminated the tremendous pain in her feet and legs through exercise—
and without surgery—which amazed her doctor.
“The pain is completely gone now; I feel so much better and have so
much more energy,” shared Muoi. “The Y is my happy place and I can’t
wait to retire so I can come to the Y even more than I already do!”

early on are vital building blocks for quality of
life and future success. That’s why our Bright

who understand the cognitive, physical and
social development of young kids, the need
children have to feel connected and supported
in trying new things, and the caring and
reinforcement parents and families need to
help each other.
Our full-day curriculum is based on a philosophy of learning
through play. Your child will enjoy educational hands-on
activities in art, math, science, music, cooking and phonics.
As the Y is the starting point for many kids to learn the
importance of being physically active, there is dedicated
