The Greater Scranton YMCA is a cause-driven non-profit organization that focuses on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We believe that positive, lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. At the Y, we take great pride in our work to strengthen our community and help all of us be our best selves. We provide a place to play, to learn, to be healthy, to eat well, and to give back. We give working parents childcare, young adults job opportunities, seniors a way to connect and children a safe place to go. We believe that everyone—no matter who they are or where they’re from— deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Everything the Y does is in service of making sure people and communities thrive. The Greater Scranton YMCA offers something for everyone in our community. For generations, our YMCA has taught children, adults and families how to be safe in and around the water through lifesaving swim lessons. We are proud to provide older adults in our community with numerous opportunities for social interaction and exercise. From summer day camp to chronic disease prevention and from youth sports and enrichment programs to early childhood education and programs designed to combat the achievement gap, the Greater Scranton YMCA makes a profound impact on the lives of the individuals and families we serve. The Greater Scranton YMCA is a charity turning no one away for an inability to pay. We are proud to provide financial assistance to children, adults and families from our community, allowing them to benefit from all the Y has to offer.
