We know that when we work as one, we move people and communities forward. That's why we are committed to providing support to our neighbors and opportunities for kids, adults and families to
give, join in or advocate in the name of stronger communities.
Community Services
At the Y, building a strong community begins at home. The Santa Maria Valley YMCA helps young people develop cultural competencies, diverse populations connect to the community, and
individuals gain access to life-changing resources and support. As an interconnected community network, the Y has the resources and solutions to build bridges and make our changing
communities stronger.
Social Services
To bring about meaningful change, people need ongoing encouragement and tools. We're here day-in and day-out to provide the resources our communities need to address the most pressing social
issues, including child welfare, education and public health. We work to make sure every child, family and community has what they need to achieve their best.
Volunteering & Giving
The generosity of others is at the core of our existence. It is only through the support of our thousands of volunteers and public and private donors that we are able to give back to the
communities we serve.
Advocacy
We are a powerful ally and advocate for our communities. Our experience and strong relationships in neighborhoods across Santa Barbara and Ventura counties mean that we are able to organize
grassroots efforts and influence public policy around a range of social issues, including child welfare, education and public health.
When you give to the Y, you are funding life-changing programs that help thousands of children, adults and families in the Santa Maria valley to learn, grow and thrive.
