Before & After School Programs

Community Service

Together the nation's more than 2,500 YMCAs are the largest not-for-profit community service organizations in America, working to meet the health and social service needs of 19 million men, women and children in 10,000 communities in the USA. Y's are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

Because all communities have different needs, all YMCAs are different. While all are affiliated with the YMCA of the USA, each YMCA is independent and directed by local volunteers that focus on providing programs that meet local concerns.For over 150 years, the YMCA's strength has been in the people they bring together. The YMCA really does build strong kids, strong families and strong communities—worldwide.
