OUR HISTORY
The Hoover YMCA, which opened in 2011, was the result of a dream by former long-time YMCA President and CEO Jim Lombard. Working with Hoover city officials and business leaders, the Hoover Y opened to an energetic, and full membership base. The inaugural volunteer board was made up of representatives from private businesses, non-profit organizations, and elected officials from the community.
OUR LEADERSHIP
Volunteering is one of the essential ways the Y engages people and helps them to be healthy, confident, and connected to others. The role of volunteers distinguishes the Y as a place where everyone can take an active role in bringing about meaningful, enduring change in the community. The Hoover YMCA is driven by an ongoing assessment of community needs and led by a board of community volunteers. Program volunteers assist with educational programs, mentorships, youth sports, and special projects, as well.
OUR COMMUNITY
More than a place, the YMCA is a cause. With programs from A to Z – like athletics to advocacy, dance classes to disease prevention, volleyball to volunteerism – we don’t just strengthen individuals, we strengthen our community. Our organization impacts so many people in so many ways. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we can achieve so much more.
We are located near Hoover, Bluff Park, Helena, and Riverchase.
OUR OUTREACH
The Y recognizes the importance of working together to create lasting social and personal change. We have the community’s trust to convene, partner and support community collaborations with schools, government agencies, faith-based organizations, businesses and others. At the Hoover YMCA, partnerships are developed and nurtured with area community service providers including businesses and corporations.
