The Y is not-for-profit

We build strong kids, families and communities

The Y (formerly YMCA) is not-for-profit which means when people become members of our gyms, use our early learning centres, or book onto our holiday programmes, any profit we make goes back into local communities through our three causes.

Raise Up is our youth development programme which is run by youth for youth. It offers teenagers an empowering environment to learn the resilience and skills they need to navigate today's world.

Through Send a School to Camp we make school camp a reality for deserving schools and children. We believe that school camps should be a right, not a privilege, for Kiwi kids, so we hard to make it happen for as many schools as possible.

We also offer fee assistance to people who would otherwise not be able to use a Y service.
