Alert June 26: Roxbury YMCA Temporarily Closed

Due to damages from a significant water leak, we anticipate the Roxbury YMCA will be closed for a minimum of two weeks. We will provide updates every Wednesday, starting July 1st to keep you informed of our reopening progress.

Families enrolled in our Early Education and Summer Camp programs will receive separate communication from those program teams with information specific to those programs.

We apologize for the disruption and appreciate your patience, understanding and support for our hard-working staff. During this time we encourage you to use your membership to visit one of our 12 other fantastic YMCA of Greater Boston locations.
