YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth

In 2024, the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth remained a vital and growing force across North Central Texas, serving more than 220,000 individuals across 13 counties and 35+ cities. With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, the YMCA continues to ensure that everyone-regardless of age, income, or background-has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Our efforts align with Vision 2025, a bold strategic plan focused on regional expansion, facility investment, and community partnerships. In 2024, momentum continued to build as we expanded into 14 additional service areas, strengthened youth and family programs, and deepened support through early education and arts-based enrichment initiatives like 4All Studios. Our impact spans three core areas: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. Within the YMCA's youth development program, more than 3,300 children found a safe, structured place to go after school, while 2,484 youth built lifelong memories at YMCA Camp Carter. Our Early Learning Center supported 84 children in developing critical kindergarten-readiness skills, and more than 6,100 youth built confidence and teamwork through YMCA sports. Leadership and teen engagement remained strong, with 1,372 youth participating in Teen Nights and leadership programs.
