ABOUT US

The purpose of YMCA of Orange County is to strengthen communities through programs committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility throughout Orange County, East San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Valley, and Riverside County. With five Health & Wellness Centers, three program centers, 80+ Before & Afterschool Program locations, two special needs programs, and numerous community resources, the Y connects people to their potential, purpose, and to each other. Donations, grants, and legacy gifts ensure Y programs are open to all regardless of an individual’s or family’s financial circumstances. One hundred percent of donations received support our financial assistance program or subsidized Y programs for those most in need.

We are committed to offering…

A place that welcomes all. Our programs are open to everyone. No matter what someone’s circumstances, background, age, race, economic status, income, etc. is, they are welcome to access and benefit from our programs.

A place to be healthy and make meaningful connections. Our fitness facilities provide equipment and classes for all fitness levels and abilities. They provide a place to build and foster friendships, reclaim healthy habits, overcome challenges, set new goals, and be the best version of themselves.

A positive place for kids. As parents and caregivers work to balance life and family many need a place for their child to be when not in school. A place where they know their child can learn, grow, play, and thrive all while being cared for in a safe environment. Our before & after school care program welcomes children ages K – 8^th grade. Every child participates in curriculum-based learning, STEM projects, and activities. Our resident camps bring children of all backgrounds together for a week of exploration and adventure. Our Inclusion and New Horizons programs recognize the need for some to receive specialized services, care, and experiences.

At the YMCA of Orange County, we will continue to do our part to help build a better future for our children and our community.
