YMCA of the National Capital Region

The YMCA provides values in action. We deliver sustainable, safe programs that positively transform lives and communities.

As a charitable organization dedicated to the health of individuals, families and communities, the Y is accessible to all, serving more than 80,000 people in our region each year.

Our programs and services address significant social and health issues with initiatives tailored to local community needs. We work to build healthy communities and advocate for children, teens and young adults, helping all to reach their potential and realize their goals.

With support from our community, we are able to:

• Promote healthy living by ensuring absolutely everyone is given the opportunity to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

• Nurture the potential of children and youth by engaging young people and encouraging positive choices.

• Support vulnerable people by helping them stabilize, develop future options and become contributing members of our community.

• Inspire personal success by providing access to essential training and resources.

Guided by our core values of honesty, caring, respect, responsibility, and inclusiveness, the YMCA of the National Capital Region brings children, youth, adults, and families together, to encourage belonging and foster positive change within our community.

We fulfill our charitable mission by meeting the needs of our community in six functional areas:

• Camp • Child Care • Employment Services • Health and Wellness • Housing Services • Immigrant and Newcomer Services
