To inspire each person to become the best version of themselves and actively contribute to their community, we work hard every day to offer a rich and dynamic organizational environment.
Our boards of directors and committees are made up of committed volunteers who donate countless hours to giving back to their community, and our local advisory boards present an opportunity for members and local organizations to offer their perspective on local/community needs 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.
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.
