The Social Impact Center provides the comprehensive social services of the YMCA of Greater Seattle, with a deep commitment to equity and justice for all. Our mission is centered on supporting people through some of life’s most critical transitions.
Since 1973, we’ve been dedicated to serving youth and young adults impacted by trauma—including homelessness, foster care, exploitation, systemic poverty, and racism. Our holistic approach promotes healing and long-term stability through core services in behavioral health, foster care, and housing, alongside education, employment, and violence prevention programs.
We walk alongside the people we serve—meeting them where they are, honoring their strengths, and partnering for success.
We are the largest provider of housing for homeless young adults in King County and the contracted agency providing specialized case management for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. We are also the leading provider of emergency behavioral health services for youth and young adults as a part of the Crisis Connections network.
904 youth accessed critical resources, employment assistance, and educational services.
843 youth and young adults received foster care services, including licensing, case management, placement, and alums support (housing, employment, health resources).
4,124 individuals of all ages received behavioral health services, such as substance use counseling, crisis support, and outpatient mental health care.
1,961 youth and young adults were supported in finding housing and eviction prevention.
Our staff will work with you to find the best location, whether that’s at your local YMCA, online, or one of our dedicated Y Social Impact Center drop-in sites, we’re here for you. View YMCA locations>
