YMCA San Francisco

Youth Development We believe in nurturing the potential of every child and teen. The Y creates safe, structured environments for young people to become their best selves. Through high-quality programs grounded in youth development theory, we harness communities to invest in 8.86 million kids nation-wide. Healthy Living We believe wellness comes from a balance in spirit, mind and body, and that with connections and support, everyone, at every age, can make healthier choices. We’re committed to improving the nation’s health and well-being by empowering all people to lead fuller lives. 20.6 million receive support, guidance and the connection they need to get and stay healthy through the Y. Social Responsibility We believe that when we work together, we move individuals, families and communities forward. Since 1884, the Y has responded to society’s most pressing needs by uniting people from all walks of life to work for social change. 58% of YMCA’s serve communities where household income is below the national average.
