YMCA of Newfoundland and Labrador
YMCA Community Action Network (YCAN)
The YMCA has been part of life in Newfoundland and Labrador since 1854. Our charity’s core programs of Health, Fitness, and Aquatics; Child Care and Day Camp; and Employment, Enterprise, and Newcomer Services are offered at more than 20 locations in our communities with an additional 170 points of delivery throughout the province. Our focus on inclusiveness and accessibility means we serve people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities through all stages of life. For the YMCA Community Action Network (YCAN) youth aged 15-30 brainstorm service gaps in their community and they work to build a project to fill that gap.
