Building Possibilities.
Serving Our Community Today, Building for Tomorrow.
A Vital Community Anchor
Since 1972, the YMCA of South Palm Beach County has proudly served over tens of thousands of individuals in our community. From learning to walk, to learning to swim, from supporting families to aiding cancer survivors, the Y helps youth, teens, adults and seniors become stronger in spirit, mind and body.
Youth, Teens & Families
From camp to child care to afterschool activities to sports and more, the Y offers holistic programming that enhances, protects and nurtures the unique development journey of every child and teen. Today, the YMCA of South Palm Beach County serves over 21,000 youth and teens in our community.
Seniors
The Y’s broad array of programs help active older adults achieve their long-term wellness goals and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Today, the YMCA of South Palm Beach County serves more than 3,000 seniors in a variety of programs such as water aerobics, Tai Chi, social activities, and more.
Underserved Populations
Our YMCA works every day to strengthen communities and ensure everyone reaches their full potential, yet many communities remain underserved. While we provide financial assistance to those who need it and customized programs for those with special needs, we know we must do more.
Our Goal
We are undertaking a long-term initiative to expand our facilities and offerings at the Peter Blum Family YMCA and DeVos-Blum Family YMCA. These vital improvements that will allow us to prioritize several key areas including enriched childcare and inspiring Youth Development, promoting lifelong Wellness and mobility, expanding and re-energizing our Group Exercise and Sports, and customized programs tailored to our community's unique needs.
Our Y's are bursting at the seams and our youth programs are exceeding capacity. Both youth and adults are in need of education, inspiration and opportunities to lead healthier lifestyles. Busy families need support with their teens as they suffer from mental, social and academic challenges compounded by the pandemic. And growing loneliness and social isolation is putting our seniors at risk.
We ask you to please consider joining us on this bold, 3-year initiative.
Peter Blum Family YMCA
Today, we must increase our capacity to serve children and families - for generations. As the population grows and evolves, so must we. We need additional space and program opportunities to serve our community today and for decades to come.
DeVos-Blum Family YMCA
While our community is a wonderful place to live, many of our neighbors still struggle. Today, we must expand our facility to increase youth programming and provide more wellness and chronic disease prevention opportunities to serve the community now and into the future.
