Centre Branch YMCA

Attention future lifeguards! 📢

Did you know that support is available for young people with financial barriers who wish to complete their lifeguarding certifications? Thanks to the generous support of a local funder, the Y can help!

Through these courses, trainees develop a sense of leadership, learn how to think on their feet, gain teamwork skills, and learn how to safely support people of all backgrounds as they grow through swimming lessons.

From August 31 to September 20, every $1 guest visit becomes a $1 donation to Fill the Bus, helping kids access YMCA camps, programs, and services this summer.

So when you invite someone to join you, you’re not just sharing a workout; you’re opening the door for someone else, too.

It’s movement with purpose.
Fun with heart.
And impact you can feel.

Bring a buddy. ❤️

❤️ Help us support our downtown community!

Centre Branch YMCA is collecting donations in support of 519Pursuit now through September 5.

We’re looking for clean clothing, new socks and underwear, adult footwear, backpacks, small bags and hygiene products to support Londoners experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Have something at home you can donate? Bring it with you on your next visit to the Y and drop it off at our donation table and bins beside the basketball court. 🙌

Every donation, big or small, can make a difference. ❤️

London, your runway moment is one month away. ✈️

Whether Jordan’s Run the Runway is your annual tradition or your first time joining us, get ready to walk, run or roll a one-of-a-kind 5K course on the airport runway.

Bring your team. Bring your family. Bring your reason.

Together, we’ll complete a 5K in support of local children.

Every child deserves the opportunity to feel comfortable, capable, and supported in the water.
