About Us
About Us
We are elevating quality of life in Greater Austin by boldly expanding access for all children, adults, families & seniors in our dynamically growing community.
In a region evolving as rapidly as Greater Austin, the idea of “keeping” takes on special significance. It implies consistency, dependability and an ongoing commitment to learn, grow and innovate. “Keeping Greater Austin Communities Strong” is what we are all about.
Surrounded by so much change, the Y matters more than ever because:
Yes, Greater Austin is changing. But through it all, pillars of community like the Y help ground us. We provide stability and a solid foundation from which we can ALL grow to our full potential.
We are truly Keeping Greater Austin happy… healthy… and strong.
When you are part of the Y you become part of a community and an organization that is actively and visibly improving outcomes for all. Today, we are continually listening and innovating to better address issues like health disparities, learning gaps, inequities, social isolation, food insecurity and more.
We work daily to ensure that our members, program participants, donors, volunteers and team members feel genuinely welcome, encouraged and supported. The Greater Austin YMCA is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in every community we serve. As with everything we do, we are guided by our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility and faith—values that compel us to recognize the dignity of every person and to be a multicultural and inclusive organization.
Building the foundations to power positive change
Our 2030 Strategic Plan places a priority on elevating our work for greater impact on children, individuals & families. Through programming in more than 70 locations, the Greater Austin YMCA is uniquely positioned to bring together caring people who are dedicated to improving health and empowering youth & families.
As a nonprofit community enterprise, the Y raises the dollars needed to give everyone the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, regardless of age, gender, race, faith, ability level, income, orientation or background. Financial assistance ensures no one is turned away due to economic circumstances.
Are you looking for a career that inspires you? Imagine going to work knowing that what you do positively affects the lives of the people in your community. Working at the Y, you’ll discover more than a job – you’ll enjoy the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of those around you.
