About Us

The Hoerner YMCA is a leading nonprofit community service  organization, serving Keokuk, Iowa, and the surrounding communities. Every day, we work side-by-side  with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Our Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Our Cause

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors.

Our Focus

We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable. At the Y, we measure the success of our cause by how well we engage communities in our three areas of focus:

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.

HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation’s health and well-being.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
