For over 60 years, the YMCA of Southeastern Alberta has been a place where community comes to life. With over 300 staff and volunteers, we support more than 10,000 people across our region, creating a welcoming space where everyone can belong, grow, and thrive.
At the Y, we believe in the power of connection. We care for kids, uplift families, support seniors, and inspire youth to lead. From building lifelong friendships to improving health in body, mind, and spirit, we’re here to help people be their best selves—together.
We also understand the challenges many in our community face. Whether it’s food insecurity, isolation, or lack of access to safe spaces, we’re here—not just in crisis, but for prevention and long-term support. The YMCA is more than a place; it’s a purpose-driven charity dedicated to helping people reach their full potential.
We see a brighter future—and we’re building it with you.
Whether it’s learning to swim, making lifelong friends at summer camp, finding the confidence to start a new career, or knowing your child is safe and cared for while you work, the Y is here. Everyone has a Y story. And with your help, even more stories can be written.
That’s the heart of our Y Connect Campaign. Formerly Strong Kids, this campaign ensures that finances are never a barrier to accessing life-changing programs. Every donation stays local and helps children, youth, adults, and families grow stronger, healthier, and more connected.
Together, we are the YMCA. Together, we connect people to a better future.
