The Y has been able to serve the Triangle area since 1857 because of its ability to connect and engage community partners.
A new Downtown Durham YMCA would allow continued and expanded partnerships with:
- Avance Care Behavioral Health
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC
- Christo Rey Research Triangle High School
- Duke Health Durham Children’s Health Initiative
- Durham Public Schools
- Lincoln Community Health Center
- Multiple faith communities
Critical Support
Since opening in 1996, the Downtown Durham YMCA has been integral to Bull City’s revitalization, helping lead the return to city center. Since then, our Y has become the Heart of Durham, serving upwards of 16,000 children, teens and adults annually.
