WELCOME TO THE Y.

We're an inclusive organization of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility.

As the largest association of YMCAs in the State of New Jersey, the Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges has an amazing opportunity to enrich the lives of thousands of children, families and individuals through programs that build spirit, mind and body. Our six YMCA branches offer a diverse and unique array of programs for people of all ages including child care, summer camps, wellness, aquatics and before and after school programs just to name a few.??

At the Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges, we pride ourselves on ensuring that no one is ever turned away from one of our programs because they? can not afford to participate.  We accomplish this goal through the annual Annual Campaign.  Each year contributions made to the Strong Kids Campaign go directly to provide program support and financial assistance to deserving individuals, families and children in ourYMCA’s service area. We urge you to help support this worthy cause and consider making a donation to this year’s Strong Kids Campaign.?
