The 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 a charitable organization working toward a better community for all. Every day, the Y supports kids, adults, seniors, and families with programs that connect, teach, protect, heal, and encourage. We work side by side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone – regardless of age, income, or background – has the same opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. We strengthen the foundation of the community through various programs such as childcare, health & fitness, community initiatives, aquatics, sports, and youth development.
With five locations spanning Richland, Kershaw, Lexington, Calhoun, and Orangeburg counties, 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. Join our team and make a difference in the lives of individuals and families.
