We’re proud to celebrate our partnership with the YMCA of Mount Vernon, whose dedication to accessibility is making a real difference in our community!

Their recent efforts include installing a universal changing table and a fully accessible pool lift, ensuring that everyone—regardless of ability—can enjoy their facilities safely and comfortably.

These upgrades mean that people like our friend Keven can now swim and exercise with the support of their staff, promoting health, independence, and joy.
Check out this video to see the impact firsthand: https://youtu.be/vEGoTEccGVk

Thank you, YMCA, for being a champion of inclusion and for helping make Knox County a place where everyone belongs.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Our adult team SSAs had a despicably fun Halloween! 🎃💛 Dressed as Minions (with a special guest appearance from Vector and the Bumble from Rudolph!), they visited people in our program to spread smiles and Halloween cheer.

As National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is winding to a close, we wanted to highlight one more amazing person who is working hard every shift: Kiteley! She works at the YMCA of Mount Vernon as a teacher’s aide. She enjoys spending time with kids and doing activities with them such as field trips, swimming, gymnastics, library visits and holiday parties.
