The YMCA has been a part of the Greater New Orleans area since 1852. Today, we reach more than 8,000 lives through branches in over 7 parishes. We live our not-for-profit, charitable mission daily by providing life-changing programs and services that enrich people from all walks of life.

With the help of dedicated volunteers and the support of generous donors, our Strong Communities Campaign will raise more than $400,000 in 2010 to keep YMCA programs and services available to all in the Greater New Orleans Area.
