At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That's why we focus our work in three areas: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

The YMCA of the Jersey Shore's roots began in 1874 in Red Bank. After 145 years, we are still a cause driven organization, committed to strengthening our local communities in the areas of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y provides a wide array of programs and services to children, families and adults in Monmouth, Middlesex and Mercer Counties.

Locate your Y branch, get driving directions, send a message, and find staff members.

Do you have a special talent? Would you like to make a difference in the life of a child? We need assistance from individuals in our community who believe in our mission and the character values of respect, caring, honesty and responsibility that we incorporate into programs that we teach.
