YMCA of Greater San Antonio

Youth development - our Ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help Young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our Ymca offerings include afterschool enrichment programs and day camps for school age kids, parent/child programs such as family camp, youth sports programs and aquatics programs. These programs offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Scholarships and subsidies are offered to all individuals and families in need of financial assistance. For additional details regarding these programs and their impact, see schedule o.

Social responsibility - our Ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for over 140 years. Y programs such as our military outreach initiative, haven for hope preschool for homeless families, and teenage lifeskills programs are examples of how we deliver training, resources, and support that helps effect change, bridge gaps, and overcome obstacles. We motivate members of our community to give back to their community through volunteerism and philanthropic giving. In 2022, we engaged 1,485 volunteers in our programs and 1,821 donors to our annual campaign to provide financial assistance for those who otherwise would not be able to participate in our programs due to economic constraints. For additional details regarding these programs and their impact, see schedule o.

Healthy living - the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through healthy living in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation and the Greater San Antonio area struggles with obesity and chronic diseases, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. Scholarships and subsidies are offered to all individuals and families in need of financial assistance. For additional details regarding these programs and their impact, see schedule o.
