For Community
Welcome to the YMCA of Greater Seattle! We’re an inclusive organization of men, women and children with a shared commitment to nurture the potential of youth, promote healthy living and foster social responsibility.

Our Mission
Building a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.
We live our mission daily, one person and relationship at a time:
- Reaching 171,500 people of all backgrounds, abilities and financial circumstances
- Nurturing 84,000 children and teens to develop their gifts and give back to our community
- Engaging 11,000 volunteers who contribute more than 268,000 hours of service each year

Community-Driven from the Start
In 1876, Seattle pioneers Dexter Horton, Rolland Denny and Catherine Maynard began meeting regularly to discuss strengthening their rapidly growing community, especially for the young. On August 7, 1876, they formally established the YMCA of Greater Seattle.
The same spirit of collaboration that united Seattle's first families has been passed from generation to generation, as the Y continues to nurture youth, promote healthy living and foster social responsibility.
