Welcome to the 135 Community Team hub — your home base for helping shape what’s next for the YMCA of Northern Rock County as we celebrate 135 years of impact in 2027.
Each month, you’ll be invited to one in-person meeting, complete simple activities called Asks, and share feedback to help guide future improvements for the Janesville and Milton YMCAs.
No membership required. No cost to participate. Asks are flexible to your schedule. You can join the team any time throughout 2026.
Next Meeting: June 6, 2026 @ 9AM – Janesville YMCA
Each month, we’ll post a short video that explains the ask, what to look for and how to share your feedback. Start here if you’re short on time.
VIDEO COMING SOON!
Team Toolkit
- Contact info: Johanna Adams at [email protected]
Use only the materials provided. Team members should share and distribute only the YMCA-approved items given to them. Please do not edit, recreate, redesign, or combine materials in any way.
Do not alter YMCA branding or messaging. Logos, wording, visuals, and formats must remain exactly as provided to ensure feedback is collected consistently and accurately.
Represent the Y accurately and neutrally. When asking for feedback, present the materials as-is and avoid adding personal opinions, interpretations, or explanations beyond the provided guidance.
For 135 years, the Y has met every generation of Rock County where they are. This month, we want to hear what your generation needs from the Y in 2027 and beyond.
Your Ask: On your next Y visit, look around through the lens of your own generation. Then share what you notice:
- What does the Y do well for your generation?
- What could it do more of?
- What will your generation need in 2027 and beyond?
Stretch a little further. Also, think about someone close to you in a different generation — a parent, a kid, a friend, a coworker — and what would make the Y feel like their Y too.
Now, fill out the form below by May 31.
Didn’t make the May 2 meeting? No problem. Visit either Y any time in May with the questions above in mind. Be sure to share your feedback through the form below before the end of the month.
TEAM BONUS: Start a new membership this month, and we’ll waive your enrollment fee. Contact Johanna.
Share Your Feedback by May 31
Online preferred for tracking. Paper forms are available at the front desk.
