The YMCA of San Francisco is a charitable organization dedicated to the betterment of people in spirit, mind and body. Our mission is to build healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities for all generations where you can be, belong, and become.

Since 1853, the YMCA of San Francisco has addressed the most pressing social issues of the day— whether helping newcomers adjust to life in America, providing safe spaces for youth from all backgrounds to learn and grow and inspiring action in and across our communities.

In San Francisco, our YMCA provides accessible support and opportunities that empower people and communities to learn, grow, and become healthier. With a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y nurtures the potential of every youth and teen, improves the San Francisco Bay Area’s health and well-being, and provides opportunities to engage with and support each other.

The YMCA of San Francisco serves roughly 10,000 youth across Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties. We believe in nurturing the potential of every child and teen. Through high-quality programs grounded in youth development theory, we create safe, structured environments for young people to become their best selves.

Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to improve their lives and their communities. At the YMCA of San Francisco, our mission is to build healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities for all generations where you can be, belong, and become.
