It starts at the Y

Every big moment starts somewhere. A first team sport. A new friendship. A young person finding their voice. A child discovering what they can do.

The Y’s story began in Sydney in 1853 as the YMCA. Today, as a proud not-for-profit and part of the global YMCA movement and the world’s largest youth organisation, we support people across NSW through children’s services including early learning and outside school hours care, youth programs, camps, and sport and recreation.

We create places where people feel safe to be themselves, connect with their communities and thrive.

That’s how we inspire lives across NSW.
