The YMCA of Greater Birmingham is a charitable organization dedicated to making our community a healthier place to live. Across Jefferson and Shelby Counties, 14 Ys engage more than 60,000 men, women, and children – regardless of age, income or background – to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation’s health and well-being, and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors.
Thanks to the Birmingham Y’s donors, policy-making volunteers, and program volunteers, no one is turned away from the YMCA for inability to pay. Approximately 22% of member families receive financial assistance, with subsidies as high as 95%. With long-standing relationships and physical presence, the YMCA is able to not just promise but to deliver lasting personal and social change. The Y believes that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.
In communities across the Greater Birmingham area, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y encourages good health, brings families together, and fosters connections through fitness, sports, and other shared interests.
Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with other local agencies, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve.
HGD law firm is proud to be a part of supporting the YMCA and is committed to be involved and support the Birmingham community.
