About YMCA of Delaware

Mission: The YMCA of Delaware’s mission is to empower youth, foster healthy living, and promote strong communities. Our vision is a healthy, inclusive community where all people reach their full potential. Make your gift today and help us make camp possible for all!

Established in 1889, the YMCA of Delaware serves more than 100,000 individuals annually at 7 full-facility locations, one urban youth development center, two outdoor complexes, one overnight resident camp and at over 40 statewide school partnership sites. We believe that we are stronger when our doors are open to all, allowing everyone the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

For over 125 years, our YMCA has worked to empower youth, foster healthy living and promote strong communities. Our work prevents chronic diseases like diabetes, combats educational equity by serving more than 30,000 young people, and enables all Delawareans access to life changing programs. Last year we served nearly 100,000 Delawareans and provided over $2.5 million in financial support to ensure everyone had access to critical YMCA services.
