Find Your Purpose at the YMCA
YMCA of Columbia, established in 1854, has been a cornerstone of community fellowship and support. From affordable housing and Bible studies in the 1800s to adapting and providing emotional support throughout the 1900s, the Y has consistently addressed social challenges. Today, our programs impact children, adults, and the community, promoting healthy lifestyles and embodying Christian principles of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith.
The YMCA of Columbia is dedicated to implementing Christian principles through programs that foster the well-being of the spirit, mind, and body for individuals of all backgrounds. With five locations spanning Richland, Kershaw, Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties, we strive to serve and support our communities.
