Raise JOY with YMCA Calgary!
At YMCA Calgary, JOY is more than just a word. It's an intentional act of kindness that can be easily unlocked. Everyone has the power to spread joy, from holding a door for a stranger, to spreading a smile, or helping someone learn a new skill; these acts of kindness help others feel they have a place to belong and realize the potential inside of them. Joy is within all of us to give and to experience.
Join our movement and make JOY into more than just a word, too. Embody it, embrace it, experience it, and spread it along. Make it a reality that everyone in our community can find and feel JOY.
Join our movement and make JOY into more than just a word for everyone in our community.

Donate to YMCA Calgary’s JOY Campaign
When you make a gift to our JOY Campaign, you help us address the unique needs and challenges our community members face.
Issues like isolation, financial barriers, child care, language and cultural barriers, mental health challenges, and so much more. We want to give them opportunities to overcome obstacles so they can tap into their full abilities, helping them grow, thrive and give back to their communities.
Until December 24th, all donations to JOY will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000!
