What incredible support we saw again from our community this year! Whether it was through charitable gifts, donations of food and essential items, volunteering, participation in our fundraising events, or even just words of encouragement, your generosity, trust, and support have meant so much to us and the people we serve.
Thank you for helping us bring our mission and impact to life.
The pandemic context encouraged us to turn our yearly one-day YMCA Challenge into a virtual month-long challenge with a unique twist. Over 600 kids, adults, and families from Montreal and Quebec embraced three daily challenges focusing on physical health, mental health, and collective health.
And oh my, did people ever get creative!
A charitable organization whose mission is to encourage and inspire all people to fulfill their potential, thrive and contribute to their community, the YMCAs of Québec offer programs in more than 30 points of service and virtually across the province, as well as operating an International Language School, YMCA Residence and Camp YMCA Kanawana.
Thanks to financial partnerships with different levels of government and the generosity of its volunteers and donors, each year, the YMCA helps more than 120,000 people to develop their skills.
As the first YMCA in North America, the YMCAs of Québec have been present in Montréal since 1851.
Since 1984, the YMCAs of Québec Foundation supports the mission of the YMCA and ensure its financial sustainability by promoting the impact it has on the community, raising funds and administering these funds responsibly.
