Our mission: Building a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.

The YMCA of Greater Seattle is the Northwest's leading nonprofit organization strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

It nurtures nearly 84,000 kids and teens to develop their gifts and give back to our community and engages more than 11,000 volunteers who contribute more than 268,000 hours of service each year.
