Strengthening YMCAs in Oregon
​
The Oregon Alliance of YMCAS represents the interests and concerns of independent YMCAs throughout the great State of Oregon.
We are a grassroots-driven and governed organization that advocates and educates on behalf of the YMCA and its mission to promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We diligently monitor legislative and regulatory issues and educate policymakers on all of the community services provided by YMCAs throughout Oregon.
​
We are an extraordinary group of dedicated nonprofits working together to strengthen the communities in Oregon! Each of our Ys are equipped and motivated to deliver lasting personal and social development to people of all ages, races, backgrounds, faiths, abilities and income levels.
