Membership Benefits & FAQs

 

When you join the Y, you're joining more than a gym—you're joining a community of people dedicated to building a stronger, healthier Missoula for all!

The Missoula Y is a nonprofit charity committed to helping everyone thrive at each stage of life.

We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive space for all.

As a Y member or participant, you can feel confident being a part of an organization that deeply cares for the well-being of all in our community. We are committed to Youth Development, Health Living, and Social Responsibility. Together, we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race, or sexual orientation, has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
