The Dorchester County Family YMCA is a not-for-profit charitable community organization located in Cambridge, Maryland. We currently have approximately 4,000 members. Our three areas of focus are: Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
WE BELIEVE…that all children and youth have potential and should have the opportunity to discover who they are, express themselves and be nurtured in all their possibility.
HEALTHY LIVING
WE BELIEVE…that everyone has the desire to be well and that well-being is best cultivated by providing supportive relationships and environments. We also believe that all people should have the opportunity to be well in spirit, mind, and body.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
WE BELIEVE…that we have a duty to try to help where help is needed. We believe that with support, resources and guidance, people can improve their own lives and the lives of others. We believe that people want to help.
THE DORCHESTER FAMILY YMCA
The Dorchester Family YMCA is part a worldwide association of YMCA’s. The history of the YMCA shows that Ys are for all people of all faiths, races, ages, abilities and incomes.
As the leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y works side-by-side with our neighbors every day to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. To do our important work, the Y relies on support from members, donors, volunteers and community leaders.
We depend on the local community to support the majority of our operating budget. We encourage members of the community to make tax deductible contributions to the YMCA and to volunteer their time.
