Building strong communities

The Olive Branch Family YMCA offers a number of programs that help strengthen our community, including:

First Aid, CPR and AED Classes

Mississippi Tobacco Free Coalition for DeSoto and Tate Counties

Everyone deserves to breathe smoke-free air. In the state of Mississippi, 14 people die every day from tobacco related diseases.  Every year, 550 people die from exposure to second hand smoke. Tobacco is the number one cause for preventable death in the state right now. There is no safe level of second hand smoke.

The Olive Branch Family YMCA has been actively participating in this program for two years. This program is funded by the Mississippi Department of Health and the Office of Tobacco Control.
