About us
The Massachusetts YMCAs serve one million people in 100 communities across the Commonwealth. With over 370 service locations, there are 370,000 children and teens being served, providing a wide range of activities to nurture their potential and ensure their success. With over 21,000 volunteers with 333,700 hours and over 16,000 employees, the Y is making a difference in all of the communities it serves. With a focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility, the Alliance of Massachusetts YMCAs serves all YMCA branches in the state by advocating on their behalf and providing a multitude of programs across the state. The Alliance of MA YMCAs are part of the Pioneering Healthier Communities work, an effort to create a healthier Massachusetts by facilitating conversations, passing policy, and running programs around physical activity and healthy eating. The Alliance of MA YMCAs also works in conjunction with early education and after school care providers to advocate for a reduction in the income-eligible waitlist and an increase in the salary reserve for early education teachers. The Alliance has been working with the local Y’s to have a positive impact on the achievement gap in Massachusetts, in order to ensure that all our children served can read atthe appropriate grade level. Additionally we address youth at risk, childhood obesity, and prevention of child abuse. Together the YMCAs in Massachusetts have created over 1100 policy changes. Together we believe we can continue to serve our Massachusetts communities in creating a healthy and positive Commonwealth for our future generations.

The Alliance of Massachusetts YMCAs recently hosted our largest Annual Meeting with the YPN Chapter 4 at Gillette Stadium. We were proud to bring our Massachusetts Y family together for a day to learn, engage, and grow as a collective force. More than 500 people were present to listen to this year's keynote former Patriot Rob Ninkovich and attended some amazing workshops conducted by the experts in the field. A big congratulations to Paul Gorman, the President and CEO of the South Shore YMCA who received the prestigious Triangle Award for his leadership and immense contribution to the Y. A special shout out to the Alliance Grants Team, Caitlyn Sweeney, Jessica Borges, Erica Cashman, MBA, and Nisha Noor for winning the 'Team Award' and Nisha Noor for winning the 'Emerging Leader Award'. The photos of recognition and celebration from the Ys across the state made us realize what an impactful day it was and how proud we are to be part of the MA YMCA family!

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is November 17-23. No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head. But the reality is that hunger and homelessness are widespread problems that affect far too many people. This Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, we are happy to share that both South Shore YMCA and YMCA Southcoast received the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) Food Security Infrastructure Grant in the amount of $42,188 and $26,800 respectively. Very recently, the Healey-Driscoll Administration announced $24.6 million in grants to 163 Massachusetts food system enterprises that will help to sustain Massachusetts’ food production and distribution sectors. This grant will be distributed through the innovative Food Security Infrastructure Grant (FSIG) program, a competitive grant program managed by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR). The funding will help farmers and other local food producers to be part of a strong and resilient food system to ensure that fresh, healthy, local food is available to all residents. A big shout-out to the South Shore YMCA and the YMCA Southcoast!

On Oct. 4th, the Alliance, MA YMCA Facilities, and the Anti-Hunger Network came together to tour the YMCA Southcoast's Sharing the Harvest Community Farm to learn more about the Southcoast Y's efforts to combat food insecurity. This innovative farm is dedicated to providing fresh produce to families in need, distributing thousands of pounds of food each season across the region. The visit offered insight into sustainable practices and community collaboration that make such an impact possible. Check out more about their work on the Southcoast YMCA website. #MonthlyMissionMoment
