Welcome to the Y of Greater Cleveland's Web site.
For more than 150 years, we have served the community by providing quality programs and activities that promote the balanced development of spirit, mind and body.
The Y of Greater Cleveland is for everyone; we minister to people of all ages, ethnic origins, religious affiliations, and socioeconomic levels.
Our commitment:
- To nurture the potential of youth through building confidence at camp, academic enrichment in safe afterschool programs, and foundational skills and values in our child care programs
- To improve the nation’s health and well-being through combating obesity and chronic disease by providing the support and resources people need to make positive change
- To give back and support our neighbors by empowering people with the resources to improve their lives and connect and contribute to the community, such as with job training, housing, newcomer services and opportunities to advocate for social change
- To offer programs and services to children, adults and families who need financial assistance.
Our Cause
The Y is a Cause-Driven organization. We believe that a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That is why our areas of focus are youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation's health and well-being
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
Services and programs are currently delivered through traditional branches in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Geauga counties, numerous non-facility locations, and program branches throughout northeast Ohio. Ground will be broken for two more traditional branches - one in North Royalton and one in Warrensville Heights - in 2012.
We invite you to explore the many opportunities that the Greater Cleveland YMCA has to offer - from membership to childcare to volunteerism - and hope that you'll find something for you.
