History
The YMCA of Orange County has been serving the community for over 100 years! Our purpose is to strengthen communities through programs committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility throughout Orange County, East San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Valley, and Riverside County. With five Health & Wellness Centers, three program centers, 80+ Before & Afterschool Program locations, two special needs programs, and numerous community resources, the Y connects people to their potential, purpose, and to each other. Donations, grants, and legacy gifts ensure Y programs are open to all regardless of an individual's or family's financial circumstances. One hundred percent of donations received support our financial assistance program or subsidized Y programs for those most in need.
Specialties
YMCA child care provides opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive as they make their way from K-8th grade in a before school and after school setting. We provide daily physical and educational activities like sports & recreation, homework and distance learning support (to assist students in meeting their teacher-assigned requirements) and arts, science, math, and technology that allow students to engage in programs often underfunded in public schools; all while socializing with friends in a safe and healthy environment.
