Program areas at Greater Austin YMCA
Healthy living - the Ymca is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring individuals and families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, people in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve Greater health. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment in their community. Programs such as: group adult classes, diabetes prevention, adult sports, personal training, and other recreational activities are some examples of healthy living programs that we offer
Social responsibility - our Ymca believes in basic needs for all and giving back and supporting others. We respond to our community's most critical social needs. We engage Ymca members, participants, volunteers and other nonprofits in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive
Youth development - our Ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help Young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Our Ymca programs, such as afterschool childcare, preschool, youth and government, swim lessons, youth sports, and camp offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth
