With your support, we know we can continue to impact individuals and families in the Brandywine area who need us the most, providing a safe place to belong, be engaged and stay healthy. We believe in open doors and opportunity for all, and never want to turn someone away due to the inability to pay. With increased job loss and recovery from the pandemic, the need is greater than ever before.  The success of the Annual Campaign ensures that we can continue to be here for everyone in the community.  

About YMCA of Delaware

Mission: The YMCA of Delaware’s mission is to empower youth, foster healthy living, and promote strong communities. Our vision is a healthy, inclusive community where all people reach their full potential.

Established in 1889, the YMCA of Delaware serves more than 120,000 individuals annually at 7 full-facility locations, one urban youth development center, two outdoor recreation complexes, one overnight resident camp, and at over 40 statewide school partnership sites. We believe that we are stronger when our doors are open to all, allowing everyone the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. 
 
For over 130 years, our YMCA has worked to empower youth, foster healthy living and promote strong communities. Our work prevents chronic diseases like diabetes, combats educational equity by serving more than 30,000 young people, and enables all Delawareans access to life-changing programs. In 2023, we served 121,000 youth and adults across the state and provided over $4.2 million in financial support to ensure everyone had access to critical YMCA services.
