Our Greater San Antonio area is large in scale but the YMCA provides the opportunity for us to become a more connected community.
The Y exists to strengthen the foundations of our community through Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. We are a place where anyone and everyone can find respite from social, physical, economic and/or educational challenges, and learn how to overcome them.
People engage with the Y on one level, but they soon find a deeper meaning to their activities and a connection to those around them. Ultimately, at its highest form, they feel compelled to volunteer, to give back and help others strengthen the entire community.
At the YMCA of San Antonio, we are united in a sincere desire to build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our Christian Emphasis program is an intentional effort to provide opportunities for people to be challenged and encouraged in their faith journey. Whether it be a small group, bible study or prayer, we seek to provide a menu of opportunities to build spiritual health.
Community engagement is at the heart of the Y’s mission. GRACE emphasizes building authentic, sustainable relationships across lines of difference, ensuring that every person and community feels valued and connected.
Síclovía is a free, annual event organized by the YMCA of Greater San Antonio that turns city streets into a safe place for exercise and play. The family-friendly event encourages residents and visitors to get out, get active, and explore their city through car-free streets. The Y accomplishes this by activating parks, bringing exposure to local businesses, and inviting community organizations.
The Y's Tech Hub is a new state-of-the-art space, and a new member benefit providing free access to any YMCA of Greater San Antonio member.
