WHY THE Y?
Every day, our YMCAs across the state are investing in strong families and communities through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body FOR ALL. While membership dues and program fees cover the operational basics of keeping our facilities safe and fully staffed, the YMCA is a 501c3 non-profit organization that believes that every person, regardless of age, race, family structure or socio-economic status, should have access to the life-changing programs we offer. Through the generosity of donors just like you, we are able to provide scholarships to families for child care, youth sports, memberships, and more. We also provide vital programs and services that enhance the wellbeing of families in our communities at no charge to them, which means we rely on foundations, corporations, local businesses and individuals to help us fulfill our mission and live out our core values.
There’s a place for every donor at the Y to make an incredible difference in the lives of your neighbors, your family, your friends… Whether you are passionate about teambuilding, personal health growth, teen leadership, the great outdoors, or family resources, the Y has a program you can get behind.
The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City has been serving Central Oklahomans since 1889, just weeks after the Land Run. Read more about the communities we serve and the history of the Y movement, both locally and abroad.
Our impact goes beyond our membership or how many locations we have. We’re serving families and individuals across Central Oklahoma through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body FOR ALL. Check out our impact report to see how we’re transforming communities.
