Home | YMCA NSW - Servicing the Community for over 150 years!

The YMCA is a vibrant, self-funding, not-for-profit charity delivering contemporary programs focused 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 110 locations in over 40 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 tackling today's "social diseases" associated with sedentary lifestyles, mental health and disconnection.
