YMCA Cork was established in 1886 and ever since has sought to provide relevant services and programmes to young people.
Among the programmes which YMCA Cork offers are a Youth Information service with a strong emphasis on collaborative work with young people in schools, youth clubs etc; a youth counselling service and a support service aimed at those young people who are homeless or are considered to be at risk of being homeless. For the past 25 years YMCA Cork has been a provider of pre-vocational training with STEP and Elevate, both in its City Centre premises. In more recent years, YMCA Cork has been responsible for the development of a number of youth led YouthSpaces projects, some of which have a strong music and performing arts focus.
YMCA Cork is managed by a local board of management.
