Working at YMCA Doncaster

We’re an independent charity, bringing together local people and organisations to support young lives in Doncaster.

Our work is led by our Board of Governors and carried out by a small team of staff and volunteers.

We focus on meeting the needs of the town’s most vulnerable young people, and the core of our work is in providing support with finding a home and leading a responsible adult life.

We’ve been working in Doncaster for over 150 years, always adapting to respond to young people and their changing needs.

YMCA enables people to develop their full potential in mind, body and spirit. Inspired by, and faithful to our Christian values, we create supportive, inclusive and energising communities where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.

We seek out: We actively look for opportunities to make a transformative impact on young lives in the communities where we work, and believe that every person is of equal value.

We welcome: We offer people the space they need to feel secure, respected, heard and valued; and we always protect, trust, hope and persevere.

We inspire: We strive to inspire each person we meet to nurture their body, mind and spirit, and to realise their full potential in all they do.

We speak out: We stand up for young people, speak out on issues that affect their lives and help them to find confidence in their own voice.

We serve others: We are committed to the wellbeing of the communities we serve, and believe in the positive benefit of participation, locally and in the wider world.
