About

We Build Strong Kids, Strong Families, Strong Communities

We are one of the founding YMCAs in Canada, celebrating 150 years of service to the Niagara community in 2009. Thousands of volunteers, leaders and youth have found the YMCA the place to build character and gain values-based experiences.

Over the years, the YMCA has changed and evolved to reflect the needs of the community. In 2002 the YMCAs in Welland, Niagara Falls and St. Catharines united to form the YMCA of Niagara. In 2009 the YMCA of Fort Erie was officially united with the YMCA of Niagara. This unification enables us to serve more people and develop a stronger base of coordinated, community services across Niagara. In 2011 the YMCA of Niagara will be expanding once again with the opening of a new membership branch in West Niagara.

The YMCA is open to everyone. By developing the strengths of men, women and children and providing a solid foundation for people to develop their spirit, mind and body, the YMCA builds individuals. Financial assistance is available to individuals and families who require support to participate in YMCA programs.
