When you give to the Arlington-Mansfield Area YMCA, your gift will help young people achieve their potential, empower people of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of our community. Together, we'll take on the greatest challenges facing our young people, our health and our community. And we offer this to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. We welcome individuals from all income levels, all ages, and all backgrounds. We bring together young and old, men and women, and people of all faiths, all for a common cause. Whether it's adaptive swim lessons, day camps or the Special Friends program for adults with developmental disabilities, the Y is a place for everyone in our community.

Investing in Water Safety
Drowning, the leading cause of death for children between the age of 1-4, is preventable. 70% of drownings happen during non-swim times and Tarrant County has high child drowning rates. According to the CDC, formal swim lessons can reduce drowning by 88%. The YMCA partners with apartment complexes, school districts and other community organizations to ensure that kids learn the skills necessary to be safe around water.
