Since 1911, the Anaheim Family YMCA has been honored to serve its community. As one of the longest-running community organizations, it is our distinct privilege to be part of a cause-driven association of men, women, and children committed to bringing about lasting personal and social change.

Deeply rooted in our neighborhoods, the Y is a valuable asset that works to ensure that everyone — regardless of age, income or background — has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

As we celebrate 110 years of service, we thank you for supporting us. Our most recent guest speaker, Dr. John Dahlem, shared: "Always remember to work for the people that work for you." #anaheimymca ...

Dr. King once said, "Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’" Let's remember Dr. King’s life and re-commit ourselves as citizens to answer that question by volunteering to serve one another and our communities. #anaheimymca ...

In 1911, William Howard Taft was the 27th president of the United States (when we only had 46 states), Chevrolet officially entered the automobile market to compete with the Ford Model T and, speaking of cars, the very first Indy 500 was run! However, here in Anaheim, Charles Pearson was making news as well. The Anaheim Family YMCA is celebrating its 110th anniversary in November of this year and is inviting the community to take part in the celebration.

As one of the longest-running community organizations, it is our distinct privilege to be a diverse and inclusive organization, foundational to developing and engaging everyone across the entire Y spectrum. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our families and our neighbors. We work to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.

Our Mission, and our dedication to service, started in 1911 and continues to be strengthened, allowing us to embrace, reflect and celebrate each other and the communities we serve. #anaheimymca #110yearsofservice ...

We want to thank everyone who was a part of our first Virtual Community Breakfast with Dr. John Dahlem. With more than 150 supporters for this event, it was definitely one to remember.
