To inspire each person to become the best version of themselves and actively contribute to their community, we work to create a rich and dynamic community life every day.
Our boards of directors and committees are made up of seasoned volunteer directors who want to give back to their community, and our local advisory boards present an opportunity for members and local organizations to offer their sound advice and contribute to our decision-making processes.

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.
