About Us

The East Boston YMCA is proud to be part of the YMCA of Greater Boston, the largest provider of social services in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Founded in 1999 in response to a significant unmet need for childcare and after school programming in the community, the East Boston YMCA has strengthened its community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Having renovated the historic Boston and Albany Engine house in 2005, the East Boston YMCA now boasts a new, state-of the art health and wellness center in addition to award-winning After School and teen programs.  Through partnering with the community and addressing its diverse needs, the East Boston YMCA provides life-changing services and added an additional gym and program site on Ashley St. to increase its impact.
