YMCA of Greater Charlotte

We're more than a gym. We're a cause.

The Y is a charity, dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With programs from A to Z - like athletics to advocacy, dance classes to disease prevention, volleyball to volunteerism - we don't just strengthen individuals, we strengthen an entire community.

Every day, we take on challenges that will shape our community's future - challenges like the academic achievement gap, obesity and social isolation. Together with our members, volunteers, donors and community partners, we make our community stronger by focusing on three philanthropic priorities:

- Driving academic achievement and inspiring kids to reach their greatest potential
- Tackling our community's greatest health challenges and improving quality of life
- Ensuring access and inclusion so that everyone has a chance to succeed and belong
