YMCA of Delaware

The YMCA of Delaware, with a 120‑year legacy, serves all Delaware residents through programs that promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Its flagship Healthy Living Prevention Programs—such as the CDC‑recognized Diabetes Prevention Program and the Stanford‑based Healthy Lifestyles Behavior Change Program—combine classroom instruction, community support, and evidence‑based strategies to help participants adopt lasting health habits. By partnering with institutions like Indiana University and Stanford, the organization delivers rigorously tested interventions that have proven to delay or prevent chronic disease. The YMCA’s inclusive, community‑driven culture ensures that people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can access resources that empower them to thrive physically, mentally, and socially.
