Giving our kids a positive start can make all the difference in their lives ─ the chance to grow, learn, reach their potential and realize their dreams. The YMCA believes that by providing our young people with a supportive environment in which they can flourish, we create the foundation for a healthy, vibrant future ─ for every individual in our community and for our society as a whole.

The YMCA of Greater Toronto has a long history of working with the young people of our community, helping them to gain the skills, confidence and support they need to achieve their full potential. Today, we are building on this experience with a renewed vision and a 10-year strategic plan (PDF 1.02MB)  focused on the healthy development of our children, youth and young adults.
