The YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga has a 150 year history in the community. To date, the Y engages 35,000 individuals through programs and services across 18 locations, including one residential camp and three child development centers. 

Areas of Impact: 
Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility

At the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga, we believe in honoring our Christian mission, living our cause, acting in accordance with our values, and placing the greater good above self. Together, with our members, donors & community partners, we are making sure that ALL have the opportunity to thrive. These programs would not be possible without our annual Community Support Campaign as well as private and public grants. Donate to our cause

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization as they provide essential assistance in the administration of each department division, serve on committees, work with staff to meet the needs of our members and participants, and provide many other valuable contributions to the organization. Our YMCA offers year-round volunteer opportunities for members and non-members from the community and surrounding areas to give back and help build a better community within our Y. Opportunities range throughout the year and are based upon need within a program or department.
