The Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA was founded based on the core character values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, and in 1889 its first facility in Tampa included the city’s first gymnasium and indoor swimming pool. Its stated mission is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Tampa Y is described as the largest and oldest service organization in America and operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization. YMCAs invented basketball and volleyball, and contributed to the idea of night school and concepts for organizations including the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls. Tampa YMCA members have unlimited access to all 10 family centers, three wellness centers, and exclusive access to youth and family programs at YMCA Camp Cristina and the Bob Sierra Youth and Family Center, with each family center having a pool and some locations featuring multiple pools, and all locations having new wellness equipment.
The Tampa YMCA continues its partnership with the Tampa Bay Lightning as part of the “Patch With A Purpose” program. Community support from individuals and local partnerships provides program scholarships and free offerings, and donations to the Tampa YMCA enable individuals to learn how to swim and be safe around the water, prevent and cope with chronic diseases, and build self-confidence and social skills. Tampa YMCA Summer Camp offers many camp options, including half-day and Teen Programs, the Before & After School Enrichment program is available at 26 Hillsborough County elementary schools and five Y locations, and Licensed Preschool services are offered for ages 2 to 5 years old at two family centers.
