"We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities." The West Seattle Family YMCA strives to provide safe, healthy and fun activities in the West Seattle community with the help of caring adult volunteers as role models.

Description:
In 2005, over 700 volunteers gave more than 16,000 hours of their time teaching classes, working with children in our child care programs (at the branch and at our elementary school sites), fund-raising, assisting with middle school programs at Madison Middle School, and our Community Learning Centers at Concord and Cooper Elementary Schools. With the help of volunteers, the YMCA is able to provide financial assistance for those who are unable to afford the full cost of programs such as child care, swimming lessons and leadership activities - everyone is welcome at the YMCA.

History:
The West Seattle Family YMCA has been a hub of activities for children, adults and families in the community since 1922. From bible-study classes, to trade instruction, to swimming classes, camps, child care and fitness classes, the YMCA continues to focus on providing enriching opportunities to help individuals reach their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.
