ABOUT US

For 160 years, we have served the Greater Cleveland community by providing quality programs and activities that promote the balanced development of spirit, mind and body.

The YMCA 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.

Services and programs are currently delivered through traditional branches in Cuyahoga, Erie, Huron, Lorain, Geauga, and Portage counties, numerous non-facility locations, and program branches throughout northeast Ohio.

We invite you to explore the many opportunities that the YMCA of Greater Cleveland has to offer - from membership to childcare to volunteerism - and hope that you'll find something for you.
