OLD COLONY YMCA HELPS CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND INDIVIDUALS DEVELOP TO THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL. WE RESPOND TO EVER-CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS AND VIEW OUR SERVICES THROUGH THREE LENSES: YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE BELIEVE YMCA SERVICES MUST BE AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY OR PARTAKE. MANY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS FACE COMPLEX BARRIERS TO SUCCESS AND INVOLVEMENT, SUCH AS MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES, EXPERIENCES OF HOMELESSNESS AND TRAUMA, AND CHRONIC DISEASE AND HEALTH CONCERNS. DONATIONS HELP US MEET THE NEEDS OF EVERYONE WHO COMES TO OUR DOOR, AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBERSHIPS, CAMP, MENTORING, EDUCATION, AND CHILDCARE.
