Dating back to its founding in eighteen fifty-eight, the Metro Atlanta YMCA remains a strong community organization getting great results. We hold ourselves as responsible and accountable today resulting in our continued relevance and collective impact.
At the heart of the 27 communities which we serve, the Metro Atlanta YMCA is a charitable organization open to and serving all. Each YMCA tailors its programs and services focused on bettering the lives of Kids, improving Health and connecting Community residents to meet the needs of its local service area.
Today, community leaders tell us they face challenges such as decreasing school readiness; increasing childhood obesity and related chronic diseases; the area’s increasing diversity; and, fewer gathering places for families.
Our Y is responding with plans to provide more accredited early childhood education programs for our youngest kids; affordable, supervised programs for older kids when school is out; proven health and wellness programs for youth and adults of all income levels; and more places in our communities where everyone feels welcome.
How Can You Help?
By making a gift to this campaign, the Metro Atlanta YMCA can work to get our kids ready for success in school, reduce health risk behaviors in all ages, and continue to provide community- based facilities and programs for every age, every income and every background.
Accountability
For the fourth consecutive year, our Y received a four-star rating (out of four stars) from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of charities. With 100 percent of every dollar raised going toward Metro Atlanta YMCA programs and financial assistance, an investment in the Y is truly an investment towards nurturing kids, supporting families and strengthening communities.
