Since 1868 the YMCA of Columbia-Willamette has offered a diverse range of quality, affordable programs that help children thrive and grow, inspire young people to lead, bring families closer together and encourage individual health and wellness.
Our programs in the Portland and Vancouver regional area provide safe, caring environments, positive role models and opportunities to serve the needs of others.
These are the building blocks for strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
The YMCA provides supportive and respectful learning environments through safe, fun teen activities.
Each year 24,500 teens participate in our Y teen programs.
We embrace developmental assets, which are the building blocks young people need to become healthy, caring and competent adults.
The more assets youth have, the more likely they are to act in positive ways, bounce back from difficult situations and avoid risky behavior.
