As extreme heat continues to impact the region, the YMCA of Greater Houston is opening its doors to help and serving as cooling centers at YMCA locations across the city. From Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, during operating hours, all YMCA of Greater Houston locations will provide safe, air-conditioned lobby space for anyone seeking relief from the heat.

“We’re proud to serve as cooling centers, providing a welcoming space where the community can cool off and connect with others during this period of extreme heat,” said Stephen Ives, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Houston.

The YMCA of Greater Houston will remain a place of opportunity, growth and community for all. YMCA locations will provide air conditioning and safe spaces for those seeking relief from the heat. A photo ID will be required to enter the YMCA of Greater Houston locations.
