YMCA of the East Bay (Oakland)

Advance Health. Empower Youth. Strengthen Communities.

That's our mission and what we work to achieve every day.

YMCA of the East Bay is a true community hub, where people of all ages and backgrounds can swim, camp, exercise, volunteer, and make an impact in their community. Serving over 68,000 people across Alameda, Contra Costa, and YOLO counties, we envision a world where every child has access and opportunities to learn, teens can reach their full potential, and communities are supported, strong and healthy. Let's build it together!

Where we focus:

Early Childhood Education

Providing high-quality child care and early learning for low-income families, so all kids enter kindergarten ready to thrive.

Youth

Cultivating safe and beautiful spaces for youth to build healthy relationships, strengthen academic enrichment, and develop leadership skills.

Health

Five fitness centers across the East Bay provide programs, classes, and activities that build fitness and mental wellness for all ages and lifestyles.
