a charity that ignites the potential in people, helping them grow, lead, and give back to their communities.
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia
We are a charity dedicated to nurturing the inherent potential in individuals just like you. Because at the YMCA, we believe that when we create the conditions for individuals to thrive, it results in stronger, connected communities for all. For over 170 years, we’ve cared for kids, shaped leaders for tomorrow, helped generations of people come together for support, and provide experiences that last a lifetime. As a charitable, non-profit organization, we are committed to providing equal opportunities for all, in welcoming spaces that are both nurturing and fun — a community of shared responsibilities, where children and families thrive.
