The YMCA of Greater Toronto is a charity that ignites the potential in people, helping them grow, lead, and give back to their communities.

Every day at the Y...

  • Toddlers build confidence with every stroke, learning the life-saving skill of swimming in our Health and Fitness Centres.
  • Parents get a second chance at school and a career while their kids learn and grow in YMCA Child Care.
  • Street-involved youth get a warm place to sleep at our shelters.
  • Teens become (literal and figurative) trailblazers in our camping and outdoor education programs.
  • Newcomers are welcomed and supported as they tackle the life-changing transition of settling in a new country.
  • Older adults stay active and connected, embraced by their communities.

Every day at the Y, people get their fair chance to shine. They get opportunities to build a brighter future — for themselves and their communities — thanks to the generosity of people just like you who donate and volunteer to support our cause.
