About Us
A History of Service
The YMCA of Metropolitan Washington has been providing vital health and wellness programs for local adults, children and families for 160 years. Our deeply-rooted values have served as an anchor for innumerable generations and demographics, ensuring that everyone has the resources to learn, grow, and thrive. Our tenacity in creating a safe and nurturing environment has allowed us to instill hope in those who weren’t given life’s basic necessities, such as love and shelter. Our diverse programs and services help our members grow tall and strong from infancy through seniority. Our operations are always adapting to the needs and well-being of our community, giving us the opportunity to branch out and touch more lives.

Our devoted team of employees and volunteers graciously provide their time and talent day-in and day-out to ensure that we are bringing about lasting personal and social change. We are filled with every-growing resources and readiness to address our community’s needs by designing programs such as Fit & Well Seniors, PHD (Physical, Healthy & Driven), and the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program.

Our Impact
The YMCA is one of the largest social service agencies in Washington D.C., suburban Maryland and northern Virginia. We touch the lives of nearly 265,000 people through our 17 branches and program centers every year.

The YMCA is committed to turning no one away due to their inability to pay. With the help of generous donors, community partners and giving members, the YMCA provided $1,827,248 in scholarships and subsidies to more than 8,500 children, adults and families in 2010.

Over 3,500 volunteers gave 52,340 hours of their time and talent in 2010 to help the YMCA fulfill its mission. From dedicated board members to talented program volunteers, these caring friends and neighbors help the YMCA serve more individuals and impact more communities every year.
