The YMCA of Greater Birmingham is a charitable organization dedicated to making our community a healthier place to live. Our mission is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Our vision is to provide inclusive programs and services to the entire community which promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility
Since opening our doors in 1884 here in Birmingham, our focus has remained the same: to connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gap in community needs. Over the years, our programs and facilities have changed, but not our mission of service to the community.
Today, the YMCA of Greater Birmingham serves the metro Birmingham area through its 8 Membership Branches, 2 Youth Centers, and Camp Cosby Sleepaway Camp.
