At the Oshkosh YMCA, we believe that food brings people together- and not just at the dinner table. World Food Day is October 16, and to honor the importance of food in our community, we're highlighting one of our most unique and impactful resources: the Y's Teaching Kitchen. Located at the Downtown Oshkosh YMCA, our Teaching Kitchen is a year-round hub for learning about food, nutrition, and culture, offering free recipes, cooking skills, and the opportunity to explore new flavors from around the world.

Lifeguarding at the Y isn't just a job- it's an opportunity to connect with others while serving the community. Our aquatics team is as invested in our members as they are in ensuring the safety of our pools, supporting their fitness and confidence while creating lasting bonds. Find out how this team is making waves in and out of the pool, and how you can be a part of it. 

At the Oshkosh YMCA, the fun isn’t just for the kids—adults can get in on the action, too! Whether you’re looking to reignite your competitive spirit or just want to stay active while having a great time, our adult sports leagues are designed for you.

The first day of daycare is an exciting time for your little one- but first day jitters aren’t just for kids!
