We exist to support California YMCAs and leverage our collective impact through advocacy, technical assistance, and facilitating trusted relationships through a wide range of partnerships.
With a 170-year history of strengthening California’s communities, our YMCAs have built relationships that lead to lasting personal and social change, which can only come about when we work together to invest in our children, health, and neighbors.
Grow your skills and make an impact! No matter what role you take on at the Y, you’ll show up each day with the satisfaction of knowing your contributions are helping to empower young people, improve health and well-being, and inspire action in your community.
The California State Alliance of YMCAs serves as a dynamic and collaborative action center, unifying YMCAs across the state to maximize their impact and effectiveness.
