The Franklin-Grove City YMCA is the largest provider of health, wellness and recreation in the Venango and Mercer counties. We have two fully handicapped accessible facilities enabling us to serve infants through adults including a large SilverSneakers® population. Both facilities are located adjacent to local elementary schools which provide a unique opportunity for the YMCAs as we serve nearly 150 children ages 9-12 every day after school.  Our Child Care departments provide licensed care from ages six weeks through school age serving over 175 children daily. 

Being part of a team and witnessing our mission brings true meaning into a YMCA.  We are always looking for creative ways to introduce new programs, adapt old programs, and build our core values into each and every program that we do. 

• Child Care-Infant-6th grade, full and part time licensed child care and pre-schools for ages 3-5. State assistance programs include Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and Keystone Stars Program currently at levels one, two and three for various sites.
• Our traditional YMCA youth sport programs have increased 62% when compared to last year and a 71% increase from 2006. Youth & Family Services- Our main focus is on programs that develop athletic, social, recreational, and developmental skills for our entire youth and adult populations.  After school programming, mentoring, tutoring, adult leagues and specialty summer camps are strengthening our mission and membership value. Our traditional YMCA youth sport programs have increased 62% when compared to last year and a 71% increase from 2006. Jr. Penguins and Adult Dodge Ball leagues are two new programs that had high participation numbers and were highly rated in evaluations.
• Teen Center- The YMCA has decided to take a proactive stance in the creation of this new program and continue its outreach and mission to help facilitate the needs of our teens.  We are operating now and serving teen’s ages13-17. We are thrilled to be able to provide a place for teens to be themselves, where they can engage in social and developmental programs with caring, qualified staff to mentor and guide them through their ever changing environments.

We offer a full complement of cardio and strength training equipment for various levels of fitness with instruction and supervision at all times.
