A vibrant, healthy community offers opportunities for everyone

For the YMCA, that often means stepping forward with a new program or service to address specific and unique requirements. It may also mean reaching out, beyond our walls to deliver programs where they are needed most.

The YMCA of Oakville is dedicated to addressing our community’s needs. Through strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations, and with the support of generous donors, we help foster positive development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Our programs not only strengthen the community’s very foundations but also ensure all individuals have access to quality information that will help them grow, thrive, lead and belong.

Child & Family Development

Focusing on family bonding, language skills, reading and more, these free programs are made available to anyone – regardless of location or financial barriers.

Programs in the Community

Programs for children 6 years and above, and teens, at various locations, allowing them to be impacted by YMCA programs all over Oakville.

Leadership Programs

YMCA Leadership Programs provide a safe place for children and youth to develop team work, communication, creativity, and gain a deeper understanding.

National Events

The YMCA of Oakville is proud to participate in national YMCA events throughout the year, including YMCA Healthy Kids Day and YMCA Peace Week.
