Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges

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.

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

In addition, we operate 3 Early Learning Child Care Centers: East Orange YMCA, West Essex YMCA Peanut Shell, and South Mountain YMCA.
