At the YMCA, we’re for healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility.  Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Ohio YMCAs are in 163 diverse communities around the state, and serve 1.7 Million Ohioans, both children and adults.  The Ohio Alliance of YMCAs advocates on behalf of these Ys.

Did you know we are the largest early and out of school-time learning provider in the state?  Did you know that we serve thousands of meals to Ohio kids and families each day, helping more kids and families to be food secure?  And did you know that we teach more kids how to swim than any other institution, which are lessons in safety, healthy living, and self-confidence?

Ohio YMCAs partner with a diverse collection of statewide and local organizations, such as hospitals and health systems, state and local government, and other nonprofit organizations, such as Special Olympics Ohio.
