RVR YMCA
The River Valley Regional YMCA is the largest social service non-profit organization in north central Pennsylvania operating six branches, serving four counties, with numerous childcare centers, after-school sites, and summer day camp locations
Most importantly, we are the largest regional provider of programs that address the Y’s core areas of focus: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. The RVR YMCA offers more preschool education, school age childcare, and adult wellness programs than anyone else in north central Pennsylvania.
The RVR YMCA also provides adult/youth sports, senior activities, teen programs, youth programs, swimming lessons, aquatics exercise, as well as over 100 additional programs to the communities we serve. The Y is always seeking to meet the needs of the local community so that we can be a force to strengthen the foundation of community.
The RVR YMCA has approximately 600 employees, who work hand-in-hand with over 1,500 volunteers. Some of whom are on the local branch advisory councils, who also represent the branches on the policy-making corporate board of directors.
As was true over 150 years ago, the YMCA is still steadfast in the daily work of our Mission, which is: “To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a strong Spirit, Mind and Body for all”.
