The YMCA of the East Bay is one of the largest YMCA’s in the nation serving over 90,000 children, teens and adults in Alameda and Contra Cost Counties.

The work of the YMCA also extends beyond the walls of its fitness centers and reaches deep into East Bay communities, many of which are economically disadvantaged, and trauma impacted. At its 25+ Early Learning Centers, the Y’s staff work tirelessly to close the opportunity gap by providing children with the head start they need to succeed in school and in life. Through its youth development/after school programs, the Y provides tutoring, counseling, and crucial support to students on 30 school campuses throughout the East Bay. These dedicated efforts are creating healthier school climates and helping to close the achievement gap by enabling East Bay youth to see and reach their full potential.
