Our work
Inspiring happiness and health for over a century
Since our inception in 1902, YMCA Calgary has evolved into a vibrant charity that helps people live happier and healthier lives. We are passionate about enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve by creating spaces where belonging, play, and potential are ignited.
YMCA Calgary runs six health and wellness facilities, six child development centres with licensed child care, two outdoor camps, and funded community programs for newcomers and youth.
Our Promise
We believe in people. We see their potential. We see strengths in our differences and inspiration in our diversity. We are the neighbour you can count on, a place for everyone; a space to play, to challenge yourself, to build resilience and to grow. The journey may start with a splash, a bounce, or a crunch under your boots; and if we do our part, it will lead to a healthier, more vibrant community. Your YMCA exists so that everyone has an opportunity to belong.
