Partner with the Y

Thank you to our Partners

Through the generosity and support of local organizations, foundations, public agencies, and private donors, the California State Alliance of YMCAs is able to provide critical funding to local YMCAs across the state. These contributions help expand vital youth programs, support outreach efforts, and strengthen community services.

Due to our funding from partners, we have also been able to distribute important information about natural disaster preparedness and enhance our impact in countless other ways. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to building stronger, more deeply connected communities.

Partnership in Action

Expanding Inclusive Youth Programs

With support from the Department of Developmental Services, we partnered with 13 YMCAs to reach over 4,000 youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These impactful programs were delivered in six languages and backed by specialized staff training to create inclusive spaces for every child.

Health and Safety Outreach

The Trusted Messenger Initiative through the Office of Community Partnerships and Strategic Communications helped 14 YMCAs share critical health and safety information with over 4 million Californians, including messaging on extreme heat, water conservation, and COVID-19. Ys served as trusted community leaders, reaching those who needed help the most.

Empowering Youth Leaders

In partnership with the California Department of Public Health, three YMCAs equipped young leaders to engage their communities, reaching more than 30,000 people with critical health education through peer-led events and displays.

“I’m grateful for the YMCA to recognize a need for a program to tailor to my son’s abilities. It’s a much-needed opportunity for him to have a safe and fun experience with peers while being guided by professionals who understand his specific needs.”

— Parent, Adaptive Splash and Play Program, YMCA of the Foothills
