A HISTORY OF IMPACT Founded in 1903, the YMCA of the Central Bay Area (formerly the Berkeley-Albany YMCA) is one of the oldest human services organizations in the East Bay and a leader in providing innovative programs that build health in spirit, mind and body. For the past 107 years, the YMCA has offered a broad range of health, wellness, child care and youth development programs for the service areas of Alameda and East, Central and South Contra Costa Counties including program facilities in Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon Valley. Each year we provide life-changing opportunities to more than 30,000 people from a diverse range of ages, abilities and backgrounds. OUR MISSION The YMCA’s mission is to bring people together in pursuit of spiritual, mental and physical growth. To build community. To serve. We achieve our mission through these four priorities: • Strengthening the family • Empowering teens • Fostering healthy development of the child • Improving health and wellness for all ages, abilities and fitness levels
