Testimonials

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tremendous opportunity you all gave to these 4 children this past summer. The [YMCA] summer camps allowed them to step outside [their] cocoon  and reach out and experience new people, the pool, the terrific counselors, the activities and most importantly socializing and making new friends." - Teri, sponsor to refugee family who received a scholarship to YMCA summer camp. 

"[The Beyond Hunger food pantry] program helps me to care for my father-in-law by getting fresh food for him at no cost. We were very impressed at the food he gets; fresh vegetables, ground beef, and yogurt. It is a relief to know that this is available for our family." -Fisher Family 

Giving Activity

Mission

The mission of the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Background Statement

Since before Colorado was named a state, the YMCA of Metro Denver has been building strong, thriving and equitable communities. The challenges our community faces are significant: health inequity, nutrition access, social isolation, mental health issues, racial disparities, unemployment, unhoused families and individuals and disproportionately high costs of living.

Yet, the Y is here, as we have been for nearly a century and a half, as a welcoming third place between home and work or school — sometimes virtual, sometimes in person and always offering community connection, family support, healthful movement, personal growth and life-long learning.

For every stage in life, for all people, at all times, the YMCA is here.
