Mission: The ymca of metuchen edison woodbridge and south amboy (ymca)'s mission is to advance our cause of strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The ymca is a powerful association of men, women, and children committed to bringing about lasting personal and social change. With a focus on nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation's health and well-being and providing opportunities to give back and support neighbors, the ymca enables youth, adults, families and communities to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.
Programs: Childcare centers - we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. In addition, we believe that kids need a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn, grow and develop social skills. We have 11 childcare programs which provide daily care for 1,200 children between the age of six weeks to 12 years old. We provide direct financial assistance enabling parents to go to work feeling secure that their child (infants, toddlers, pre-school and elementary age school children) are being nurtured, developed and well cared for in a safe environment. We provide services to all families within metuchen, edison, woodbridge and south amboy regardless of their ability to pay full cost of care.
health and wellness - the ymca of metuchen edison woodbridge and south amboy (mewsa) is a leading service provider on health and well being within our service areas. The y brings families closer together, encourages good health and foster connections through fitness, sports and enrichment programs. As a result, thousands of youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit mind and body. Our open door membership assistance program is one of the important ways we work together to give back and support our neighbors so the most vulnerable in our community receive help, support and education when they need it most. The open door membership assistance program is designed to provide financial assistance so that no child, family or adult is turned away.
summer camp - summer day camp has been and remains a hallmark of ymca programs. We provide services to 1,000 children within our 11 day camps each summer. We enrich the lives of children, through their camp experience and create memories of a lifetime. Our ymca continues its commitment to families in the communities we serve, through the generous support of our donors and partners, providing financial assistance that allows children from deserving families to attend camp while their parents work, giving them the opportunity to experience the life-changing power of ymca summer day camp.
