A community resource since 1853, the Y of Central Maryland is one of the largest human service providers in Maryland and is dedicated to developing the full potential of every individual through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Family health & wellness programs, camps, youth and adult sports and child care are delivered through its seven health and wellness centers, and more than 100 program locations throughout Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Harford County and Howard County.
Anyone who seeks participation in a Y program is afforded a Y experience, regardless of ability to pay. A full 33% of the Y of Central Maryland’s budget goes to providing programs and services to people who otherwise can not afford to pay. This was accomplished in 2006 through reinvestment of more than $11 million into scholarships and programs.
The Y is the largest private provider of child care in Maryland as well as the largest provider of Head Start. The Y of Central Maryland also mentors homeless teens at Camp Horizon, strengthens youth from underserved neighborhoods through Urban Services programs, tutors young people in Project Boost, and teaches teens the art of debate and parliamentary procedure through its Youth and Government program, among many other services that help strengthen kids, families and communities in Central Maryland.
