Burbank Community Ymca

in 1924 the burbank community ymca (then called the burbank family ymca) was established by local citizens, who understood the value of having a community-based organization in the heart of the city. the ymca’s breadth and scope of expertise includes leadership skills, character development and healthy living choices that manifest themselves through a variety of programs such as youth sports, family, youth, and adult fitness as well as special programs like youth and government, child care and senior water fitness classes. the burbank community ymca’s mission is “to provide people of all ages lifelong opportunities to become stronger in spirit, mind and body.” it continues its vital role in the community as the only association able to provide for a single working mother, a senior with health concerns or a child who needs a safe and secure environment to learn. the burbank community, like communities all over the country is facing a health crisis and it’s having profound consequences.
