At the YMCA of San Francisco, our work is guided by a mission to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. We do this by enriching the lives of all people in spirit, mind and body. Our goal is to make the Bay Area the healthiest place in America for our children, providing them with the skills and habits for a healthy life and empowering them to reach their highest potential. With more than 160 years of experience, we have a long history of addressing the most pressing social issues of the day, from helping immigrants adjust to life in America, to providing safe spaces for kids from all backgrounds to learn and grow, to supporting our soldiers returning from war. We strive to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation. Our 14 YMCAs in San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties are dedicated to understanding and developing unique programming based on the needs of each community. We are committed to building equity through our diversity, inclusion and global engagement efforts.

Great location! The employees are extremely welcoming, greeting me whenever I walk in. I only used their swimming pool so far. Pros: the lifeguard is really nice. Cons: crowded at peak hours, and the hair dryers are weak.
