Missoula YMCA Construction Updates

We are leading a county-wide effort to raise funds to remodel the Russell Street campus and make vital improvements that will allow us to double our child care capacity, continue to support Missoula’s growing workforce, create diverse and safe spaces that meet the needs of our community’s families, and so much more.

Construction started June 2023. Our Y is committed to your health and wellbeing, and our doors will remain open. We will be undergoing a phased construction process to ensure that you continue to have access to the important programs and services you rely on to live your healthiest life.
