Through advocacy, strategic partnerships, and capacity-building services, the Alliance helps local YMCAs advance their missions and increase their impact in communities across the state.

Our Approach

The Alliance provides leadership and support in areas such as advocacy and public policy, strategic planning, board governance, professional networking, and statewide collaboration. We work closely with state agencies, philanthropic partners, and community organizations to advance the YMCA’s three areas of focus: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. 

Together, North Carolina YMCAs serve more than one million people annually, creating opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to learn, grow, and thrive.
