Y Central Inc is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening families, empowering young people, and building connected, resilient communities. Bringing together a proud legacy of YMCA services across the Wellington, Whanganui, Palmerston North, and Masterton regions, we continue to create opportunities for people of all ages to thrive, connect, and reach their full potential.
We reinvest into local communities through our philanthropic programmes and have strategic partnerships with funders and like minded organisations which allow all those unable but still willing to still participate in our programmes.
The Y is over 150 years old, and our rich history mirrors the history of New Zealand. Dedicated work over many years has laid the foundation to continue our work reinvesting in local communities, now and for many years to come. We’re here for good!
