YMCA Brisbane is a not-for-profit organisation operating as The Y Queensland, delivering childcare, fitness centres, camping programs, vocational education, community centres and youth initiatives across Queensland. The organisation supports over 12,000 Queenslanders annually through its combined services, whilst maintaining a presence within a global movement that reaches almost 65 million people across 120 countries.
The organisation's vocational education arm enrolls more than 700 students annually, whilst its youth mentoring programs provide 140 mentoring hours per week. The Schools' Breakfast Program has delivered over 12 million breakfasts cumulatively. Revenue generated from these services directly funds social impact initiatives across South East Queensland, including support for cancer survivors, affordable housing provision, and community centres serving marginalised and disadvantaged populations.
Operating continuously since 1864, YMCA Brisbane provides opportunities for children, youth and communities to develop across physical, mental and spiritual dimensions. The organisation maintains community centres, fitness facilities and camping programs alongside its educational and support services, positioning itself as a multi-service community provider rather than a single-focus operator.
