Fund the Future of California
With a 170-year history of strengthening California’s communities, our YMCAs have built trusted relationships that lead to lasting personal and social change. These changes can only come about when we work together to invest in our children, our health, and our neighbors.
The California State Alliance of YMCAs works diligently to support YMCAs throughout the state of California.

Working For Good
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.
