Organization Description

YMCA of Silicon Valley has been listening and responding to the most critical social needs in our community for over 150 years. We provide programs and services to strengthen the foundations of our community. We bring people together to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve our communities' health and well-being, and create opportunities to give back. Our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility guide us in our endeavor to strengthen community in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
