Newton YMCA

We are a powerful association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors and more than 270,000 participants to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The Y is a non-profit, volunteer-led community organization, serving the community since 1885. As a 501(c)(3), our income is reinvested in the Y to perpetuate our charitable purpose.
