Many homeschool families who are members would like to take advantage of the services the YMCA has but there is no childcare open for older children during the day. The Y does open the youth area for after school hours, at 3:30. As homeschool parents, we would love to have a time available so we could take classes or exercise with other parents. I think the Y is missing out on a great opportunity to show support for homeschool families by offering them one or two days a week where the youth room is open early. You can show the Dunigan YMCA our need by signing this petition.
I have been in communication with the management at the Dunigan YMCA to discuss how their current facility hours impact our local homeschool community. The feedback I have received from many of you highlights a clear desire for more flexible access to the youth area during daytime hours. We are currently preparing a formal proposal to outline how this adjustment would benefit both the families and the facility.

The response to this proposal has been truly heartening and demonstrates a clear demand for these adjustments at the Dunigan facility. This momentum underscores how many families are eager to integrate the YMCA into their educational routines.

I cancelled my membership because my then 6 yo daughter did not like having to spend time with babies when I went in the mornings. Please open up the youth room or a larger room with games and activities available for children 7 and up.

This would help Evansville Moms and Dads in a huge way. Not to mention that there are so many of us homeschooling families it would also increase business for the YMCA.

Please open up earlier the YAC I know we could open a whole new avenue of homeschool classes and attend excercise classes. We LOVE the Y! I will be glad to help and volunteer to make this possible.

I was planning on getting a membership, but we home school and without the kid room open...that will be a game stopper and help me make a decision not to join!
