Strengthening Communities
The YMCA of Glendale is a nonprofit that has been serving the surrounding community since 1922 when it first opened. The Y is committed to strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The mission of the Y is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all, and we welcome and support children and families of ALL ages, religions, incomes and abilities.
Our Cause
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. 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 learn, grow and thrive.
Our Focus
Healthy Living: With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health, and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests.
Youth Development: Through the Y, thousands of youth today are cultivating the values, social skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement.
