At the YMCA, we’re committed to improving our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

That’s why we offer a wide variety of community programs at the YMCA designed to help nurture the potential of kids, help you live healthier, and support our neighbors who need us most.

Housing

The Residence at the Central YMCA provides housing to men 18 years and older. The residents are provided with a dorm-style room, discounted rates to use the fitness center, and access to various health and human service providers who partner with the YMCA. To be eligible for our residence program, you must complete an application and meet certain guidelines. For more information, contact Dara Hunter at 302-571-6950 or [email protected].

Water Wise

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn how to swim. Free of charge, thanks to generous donations, our Water Wise program teaches basic swimming skills and safety around water to youth between the ages 3 – 17 years.

Y Mission Market

The Y Mission Market at the Central YMCA is a free store, open to community members, that aims to combat hunger and provide for those in need. The Market features shelf-stable and frozen food, clothes, and more. Donations were provided by local community members and partners. Anyone interested in supporting the Y Mission Market can bring donations to the Central YMCA front desk at any time.
