Welcome to the Marin YMCA

The Marin YMCA is a membership based, community service, not-for-profit organization.  While the main facility rests in San Rafael, programs and services reach every corner of this very diverse county.

Our mission as one of 15 branches of the YMCA of San Francisco is to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by enriching the lives of all people in spirit, mind and body.

This mission statement is a part of our work every day and is incorporated into every program we offer, from Yoga classes that help reduce stress while building strong bodies. to afterscool child care that keeps kids safe and teaches them to become good citizens by teaching our 4 character values of trust, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

As part of our mission, we are entrusted with the job of developing strong communities through reducing economic diversity.  It is also this important work that makes the YMCA unique.  The YMCA is blessed to grant financial assistance to the extent possible to anyone (family, adult, couple, child) who cannot afford the full price of our programs and services. The process to be considered for financial assistance requires the completion of a short application. For more information, please contact Financial Assistance Administrator at (415) 446-2113 or Trequenes@ymcasf.org

Financial Assistance is made available through generous contributions made to our Strong Communities Campaign.  In order to assist the many people who need financial assistance here in Marin County we have a goal to raise $220.000 by the end of March 2008.  We are presently at $160,000.  This money is raised right here in our own communities by volunteers calling on local businesses.  We ask member volunteers to ask other members for contributions by educating members about all of the good work that is done by the Marin YMCA.  As a membership organization we do expect that members take on the commitment to help us help the less fortunate in our communitites, by donating generously.  The donation is tax free, and stays right here in the community.

Help yourself and others by becoming a member if the Marin YMCA.
