The YMCA of Three Rivers marks the official unification of the YMCAs of Cambridge and Kitchener-Waterloo, the YMCA-YWCA of Guelph, and the YMCA of Stratford-Perth as one regional entity. Through this process, we've brought together our strengths and expertise to better serve our communities, where and how they need us most.

Our purpose as a charity is to make our diverse communities healthier and more vibrant. With dignity and respect, our programs and services inspire individuals to reach their full potential.

For more than 150 years, the Y, your Y, has served individuals across Three Rivers communities. Through camps, child care, swim lessons, wellness programs, and more, we’ve worked to help individuals feel seen, valued, supported, and, most importantly connected. It’s a community – one that’s been built through the generous support of individuals. People, like you, who’ve realized that we’re stronger together. People, like you, who know the value of showing up and staying connected – even when a global pandemic has challenged what that might look like.  

Now, more than ever, your community, your Y, needs you. We need you to keep showing up with us. To continue meeting our communities’ needs. To continue building safe, welcoming spaces to learn, grow, and thrive. Not just today. But every day.  

This is why we’re here. This is our commitment. But, we can only do it with your support. Think of all the good we’ve done. Now, imagine all the good we’ll do. Join us. Because, you can help make sure we’re here for good.
