Breakfast of Champions for Youth

For 167 years and counting, YMCA of Reading & Berks County has provided services and programs that teach skills, build confidence, give hope, and change people’s lives. As one of the nation’s leading nonprofits, the Y strengthens communities through its intentional focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

The strong support of our donors and the organization’s fiscal responsibility make it possible to offer quality programming for every age and stage of life, regardless of one’s ability to pay. From infancy and youth to adulthood and senior living, the Y is a model of community health – mentally, physically and emotionally.

For children, the Y’s enrichment programs teach them values and what it means to be productive citizens with goals to reach. For adults, including parents and role models, we provide the educational resources and support to become self-sufficient and contributing members of society. For families, we provide programming for enrichment, fitness, and social activities for fun ways to stay connected. By evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of our community, the Y continues to be a cornerstone in Berks and Lancaster counties.

We are appreciative of the time and talents our Board of Directors as well as the volunteers, staff and partnering organizations. Together, we can make a big difference!
