Community Services/Non-Profits near Niles, MI

“I joined this YMCA in April 2022 and have since had two of my kiddos attend Young Adventure Camp, Summer My Way, GSRP at Northside, Must Do Mornings, youth basketball, swim lessons and accelerated swim lessons, Ballet (at the Benton Harbor-St Joseph location), and the Thanksgiving Run. We go an average of 7-20 days a month and I personally love attending the group classes Zumba and Zumba Toning with Heidi and Kickboxing with Kendall.I've had a few issues hereand there with the childwatch but overall it's a very good experience and the staff are incredible and helpful. Just communicate openly with them, have your child use the resteoom prior to dropping them off (or change their diaper) and leave them with a snack everytime. Those are the main things I do to avoid issues, along with attending consistently so they know my children and the kids are comfortable there.We love swimming in the Warm Therapy Pool during family open swim. The sauna is also nice (adults only). We're going to try soccer through the Y in the spring and I want to try Kids Night Out at some point as well. I recommend participating in events like Healthy Kids Day if you can and doing their 5K's to support different causes. Our youngest is having a birthday party there in November with one hour in the pool and one hour in a reserved space. I reserved early with the front desk and paid in advance. She's very excited.I'm overall pleased with my experience and I don't see myself cancelling anytime soon.”

“This is an awesome place! I went there to counsel last summer, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! If you are a teenager or have a teenager from the ages of 14-17, you should come! Super fun and great way to grow in you relationship with Christ!! And if your older than 17, you could be on the Summer Adult Leadership Team (SALT). Definitely an awesome way to spend your summer! And they also do snow tubing, retreats, rentals, High Adventure Team Building, and much more!”

“Among its mission as an adaptive reuse of a retired bowling alley, the Beacon is the current practice facility for the South Bend Roller Girls. That alone makes it special! Hats off to the owners for carving out unique and custom spaces for special uses like derby. Yet another example where good vision for existing resources cultivates cultural and economic initiatives for the entire community.”

“Great times with a bunch of great people! When they serve food it's always amazing. Their events are a good time, they host a bike night every other week during the summer months that's pretty fun. Prices use to be lower than any average bar in town but now they raised them to be just like everywhere else. Even for us members but oh well... At least the bartenders are friendlier than those other placed! Kudos to the bartenders, Bill and the rest of the board for all the efforts”

“Brookdale South Bend had the staff and Bandit visit our residents here (via window) on 6/19 and we would recommend them to anyone!! Everyone was so kind!!! Bandit was a SUPERSTAR!!”
