YMCA Brisbane

We believe in the power of inspired young people

The Y Brisbane is a not-for-profit organisation with leading services in childcare, fitness, camping, education, hospitality, youth, recreation and community programs.

As the largest global youth movement, reaching almost 65 million people in 120 countries, the Y has a shared purpose of empowering young people. We have been working in local commmunities across Australia since 1854 and in Brisbane from 1864.

The services we provide help fund our Social Impact initiatives across South East Queensland, including Schools’ Breakfast Program, Vocational Schools, Cancer Survivors Program, Community Centres, Affordable Housing, Youth Mentoring and more. We also provide facilities and programs for marginalised and disadvantaged young people in need of help as well as providing affordable accommodation for people who have been without a home.
