YMCA Greater Boston
The YMCA of Greater Boston is dedicated to improving the health of mind, body and spirit of individuals and families in our communities. We welcome men and women, boys and girls of all incomes, faiths and cultures. The YMCA of Greater Boston ranks as one of the large urban Ys in the nation, staying true to its roots as a values-driven, volunteer-led, human service organization strengthening children, families and communities. The Y's mission, driven by the values derived from a century and a half of service, is to improve body, mind, and spirit health for all. The Y's staff, volunteers, and constituents represent the broad spectrum of citizens, by any and all measures, who live in Greater Boston. The Y is the largest provider of after school programs and child care in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, offers the state's largest summer youth employment program, involves more than 10,000 children in summer camps, and leverages resources to provide over $10.3 million in critical services at no cost to low income participants. As financial, demographic and social forces continue to create a "New Boston" once again, the YMCA continues to provide centers of community life for children, families, and all others, in the neighborhoods and towns of the region.
