OUR STORY
MORE THAN JUST A CLUB
For over 80 years, the Carlisle Y's Men and Women's Club has been a pillar of our community, leaving its mark not just on parks and buildings, but on the lives of countless individuals. We're more than just a club – we're united by a passion for service, a love for the outdoors, and a desire to make Carlisle a better place for everyone.
WHERE SERVICE MEETS ADVENTURE
From our humble beginnings, we've grown into a diverse group of men and women from all walks of life, bound by a shared commitment to building a stronger community. Guided by Jesus' example of compassion, empathy, and service, we roll up our sleeves for projects that benefit youth, the environment, and local causes, leaving a lasting legacy of positive change. But our impact goes beyond bricks and mortar; we build connections, friendships, and a sense of camaraderie that enriches both ourselves and the community we serve.
We don't just talk about making a difference – we do it. As the hands and feet of Jesus, we volunteer our time and expertise on community projects, organize fun and impactful events, and explore God's creation together.
