Together, the nation's more than 2,500 YMCA's are the largest not-for-profit community service organizations in America, working to meet the health and social service needs of 18.9 million men, women and children in 10,000 communities in the United States. Y's are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. No one is turned away for inability to pay. YMCA's strength is in the people they bring together.
Because all communities have different needs, all YMCA's are different. A YMCA in your community may offer child care or teen leadership clubs. A Y in the next town may have swimming lessons or drawing classes. Every Y makes its own decisions on what programs to offer and how to operate.
The YMCA Cape Cod is a valuable community resource for all people regardless of age, gender, religion or economic level. We welcome all people to our many diverse classes, programs and special events held throughout Cape Cod.
