YMCA Sydney

We build strong people, strong families, strong communities

Reconnecting children separated in Foster care Making healthy lifestyles accessible to all people Providing rewarding volunteering opportunities Creating places for people to connect and belong Giving families the opportunity to be together Developing young people into young leaders

The YMCA is a vibrant, self-funding, not-for-profit charity delivering contemporary programs focussed on family, healthy living, developing young people and those less fortunate. The Y's impact on many of today's biggest social challenges is significant with its diverse programs and services generating more than four million visits every year across more than 100 locations in over 35 communities in NSW.

The role of the Y in building strong people, strong families and strong communities has never been more important. It is one of few not-for-profit organisations tacking today's "social diseases" associated with sedentary lifestyles, mental health and disconnection.
