At the YMCA of South Florida, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. That’s why we’re launching the Together We Move the Community Campaign, a fundraising initiative dedicated to helping those in need. With your support, we can provide life-changing programs and services that empower individuals and strengthen our community.
At the Y, strengthening communities is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure everyone—regardless of age, income, or background—has access to the resources they need to reach their full potential.
Equip Kids for School: Your gift helps us provide 1,000 backpacks filled with essential supplies — giving students the confidence to learn from day one.
Support Every Child: From basic supplies to new shoes, your gift helps children of all abilities, including those with special needs, feel seen and supported.
Empower Youth Leadership: Beyond the backpack, you’re helping teens build brighter futures through Y programs that focus on career readiness, leadership, and mentorship.
Boost Academic Achievement: Your contribution supports over 7,000 monthly academic enrichment services — tutoring, literacy programs, and more — to help kids thrive inside and outside the classroom.
For over 100 years, the YMCA has been here for South Florida families. With your help, we’ll keep showing up — for kids, for education, and for our future.
Your gift helps us give more kids a school year full of fun, friendship, and learning. From swim lessons to outdoor adventures, your support ensures every child has the chance to thrive—no matter their circumstances. With your help, we've already reached $1 million in financial aid provided.
