America’s 2,663 YMCAs serve more than 20.2 million people each year, uniting men, women and children of all ages, races, faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. At the heart of community life across America, mission-driven YMCAs are a place to belong and to live the values that guide and unite our members: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Across the country, 67.7 million households and 33.7 million children 14 and under live within three miles of a YMCA. Fifty-eight percent of Ys (1,496) serve communities where the median family income is below the national average.

YMCAs are also at work abroad, serving more than 45 million people in 120 countries. Through cross-cultural learning opportunities and international partnerships and programs, YMCAs in the U.S. have worldwide impact, providing guidance and support, building strong local leadership, and improving the health of families and communities across the globe.

The YMCA really does build strong kids, strong families and strong communities - worldwide.
