Inclusive Community Building

For over 175 years, the YMCA of San Francisco has been a cornerstone of community support, positively impacting over 100,000 lives annually. When you join our community, you help sustain vital initiatives that foster youth development, promote healthy living, and cultivate social responsibility.

Empower Your Journey

Support Lasting Change

Contribute to the Y and make a tangible difference in the Bay Area. Your support ensures a safe, inclusive environment where every individual can thrive, amplifying our impact across the community.

Make Your Voice Heard!

Urban Services YMCA, San Francisco’s Community Action Agency, is working to eliminate poverty—and we need your input! Every two years, we conduct a Community Needs Assessment to better understand the challenges facing our community. Your feedback will directly shape our 2026–2027 Action Plan, guiding the programs and services we prioritize. To review a draft of the plan, click here. For questions or comments about the plan or survey, please email Alora Martin at [email protected].

Take the 2025 Community Needs Assessment Survey today and help us build a stronger, more equitable San Francisco. Your responses will be shared at our Public Hearing on May 8, 2025 at 6 pm – 1530 Buchanan Street, San Francisco 94115.
