Westfield Area YMCA

About Our Y

Our Cause

At the Y, we focus on nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving our community’s health and well-being and giving back to our neighbors.  Everyone is welcome at the Y, regardless of age, ability, income, or background.  During these difficult times when tensions are high, the Y is dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion.  Our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility guide everything we do.

Your Safety is Our #1 Priority

As per Governor Murphy’s most recent Executive Order, masks and social distancing are not required for fully vaccinated individuals ages 12+ at our Y.  Fully vaccinated is defined as two weeks after administration of the second Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two weeks after administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Children ages 2-11, and those that are not fully vaccinated, are required to wear a mask at the Y.  Please note that the Executive Order does not lift mask wearing or social distancing regulations for preschool or child care programs.

All Westfield Area YMCA facilities have Global Plasma Solutions Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization Air Quality Systems.  Proven effectiveness inactivating the COVID-19 virus: 10 minutes, 84.2%; 15 minutes, 92.6%; 30 minutes, 99.4%. Y staff will continue cleaning high-touch areas and we ask that you remain vigilant about hand washing and wiping down equipment before and after you use it.
