About Us
Our History
The Edwin W. Brown Family YMCA is a full-service YMCA , which has been serving the community since 1917. Located in the heart of West Palm Beach, the Brown Family YMCA encompasses 17 acres, and includes a fitness center, a skate park, preschool and after-school care, racquetball courts, a group exercise room and an aquatic center. On a walk through the branch you may find parents smiling because of their infant’s new aquatic survival skills, or seniors chatting in the hall after their Silver Sneakers class. You can cheer your child in a soccer practice or be involved in watching the swim team.
Throughout all the YMCA’s programs, the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are displayed and expected.
Our Mission
The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has been serving the community since 1917 with a legacy committed to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by providing programs based on four basic character values--caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
As part of a worldwide movement in more than 120 countries, the YMCA of the Palm Beaches strives to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
