Y Friends,

Effective Friday, May 14, the Marshall Area YMCA is following CDC guidelines and the Governor’s Executive Orders no longer requiring face masks for members, guests, and participants 12 years or older who are fully vaccinated. Face masks are still strongly recommended for people who are not yet fully vaccinated.

Important note: Members, guests, and participants will not be asked to provide proof of vaccination upon entry to the Y, however, we ask that the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility remain central as you consider your visits to the Y.

Fully vaccinated people may still wear masks as a personal health and safety choice.

Children 5-11 years old will continue to wear masks in our programs and facilities, consistent with MN guidelines. 

Please know, we remain steadfast in our cleaning protocols and our commitment to your health and safety. Physical distancing and equipment spacing policies will remain the same throughout the building and in programs. We also ask that if you are not feeling well to not visit the Y facility.

Current class sizes, reservations, and other MN Stay Safe protocols found on our COVID-19 webpage remain in effect.

With restrictions loosening, it is a great time to become familiar with activities available at the Y again.

Thank you for your patience over the last year, and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces at the Y!

Tom Bolin
Executive Director
