YMCA WA

The Y WA is a Western Australian community organisation helping children, young people and families flourish. Part of a global brand with a local story dating back to 1908, it designs and delivers evidence-informed programs that support learning, wellbeing, connection and participation across metropolitan and regional communities.

Its services include early learning for children aged six weeks to five years, before- and after-school care, school holiday programs and family day care. For young people aged 12 to 25, the Y WA offers youth programs, counselling, case management and opportunities to develop skills, express themselves and take part in community life. The Y School provides an alternative education pathway for vulnerable students in years 7–9 and 10–12. Community support includes supported playgroups, Child and Parent Centres and school engagement programs. The organisation also operates recreation centres offering health, fitness and sports activities, alongside services such as gymnastics and facility hire. Across Western Australia, the Y WA aims to create safe, nurturing environments where people can build skills, relationships and confidence.
