We strive to live our cause with purpose every day. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we believe that we’re stronger when we come together.

VALLEY SHORE YMCA AREAS of IMPACT

Youth Development: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.

At our YMCA, we provide a safe, fun environment for children during after school programs to give working parents piece of mind; help children discover friendships and build confidence at summer camp, and ensure that every child can safely enjoy water activities for life; and much, much more.

Healthy Living: Improving the Shoreline’s health and well-being.

The Valley Shore YMCA is committed to helping adults, children, and families of all ages and abilities lead healthy, active lifestyles. We help cancer survivors feel energized and strong again, ensure that seniors are active and have social opportunities, help individuals lose weight and gain confidence, provide the best tri club in the Connecticut River Valley and more.

Social Responsibility. Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

We offer volunteer opportunities for members to give back to their community through both the YMCA and other non-profits. We grow fresh produce in our community garden and give it all away. Our financial aid program ensures that all YMCA programs and services are available to anyone, regardless of ability to pay.

GO BOLDLY, GIVE TODAY!

In 2023, The Valley Shore YMCA provided over $150,000 in financial assistance and program subsidies to more than 1,200 local youth and families in shoreline community. This year, our community requires more support than ever to cover the need of seniors and working families in our community.

We believe that building empowered and confident kids today, we are helping to assure that they will become contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
