The Downtown YMCA, located in the heart of Erie’s vibrant Renaissance District, welcomes members and program participants to its restored historic facility. We have been serving the region since 1910 through programs that nurture the potential of kids, improve the health of our community and support and give back to our neighbors. We are most well known in the community for social service outreach to Veterans and Teens as well as NAYEC accredited quality early learning and school age enrichment programs.
