Welcome to the Dartmouth YMCA
Since 2001, The Dartmouth YMCA has been providing quality programs and services to meet the needs of our community. Our facility offers a premier summer camp, year-round child care services, group exercise classes, and youth sports and enrichment classes. Set on 60 acres of beautiful conservation land, we also operate the 4.2-acre Sharing the Harvest Community Farm, which has donated more than 450,000 pounds of produce to our community since 2006.
Give where you live
The Dartmouth YMCA offers everyone who walks through our doors a secure, friendly, and supportive environment. Your contribution guarantees that the Dartmouth YMCA will have the means to provide for the children, families, and communities we have the honor to serve.

My favorite place!
Joining the YMCA has been the best decision for our whole family. My kids love the swim lessons and summer camps, and my wif and I enjoy the fitness classes and wellness center. It’s rare to find a place that offers something meaningful for every age group. We’ve recommended the Y to all our friends because it truly brings our family closer while helping us stay active.
YMCA Southcoast is awesome!
The YMCA gave me the motivation I needed to get my health back on track. From friendly staff to supportive group classes, I’ve never felt more welcome in a gym setting. I’ve lost weight, gained confidence, and made lasting friendships. I recommend the Y to anyone who wants a healthier, happier lifestyle—it’s more than just a gym; it’s a community!
My favorite place!
As a single parent, finding a safe, affordable place for my kids after school was a game-changer. The Y’s afterschool program gives them a space to learn, play, and grow, while I can unwind at the gym knowing they’re in great hands. I tell everyone I know: if you want peace of mind and great programs for your children, the YMCA is it.
YMCA Southcoast is awesome!
Retirement left me looking for purpose and connection, and I found both at the YMCA. The senior fitness classes keep me moving, but it’s the friendships and sense of belonging that truly matter. I now bring my grandchildren here on weekends—it’s become our special spot. I wholeheartedly recommend the Y to anyone looking for health, happiness, and heart.
It all happens at the Dartmouth YMCA!

Only at the Dartmouth YMCA: The Full Plate Project & Share The Harvest
The Full Plate Project (FPP) embodies the Y’s mission of strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. More than just survive, healthy food allows everyone to thrive. Through YMCA Southcoast’s partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, the Full Plate Project started as an emergency response to pandemic-related nutrition insecurity in April 2020. It quickly grew into one of the largest hunger relief agencies in the Southcoast region.
Sharing the Harvest is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven community farm that was established in 2006 as a grassroots response to hunger at the local level. The farm’s mission is to alleviate hunger, promote volunteerism, and provide agricultural education on the south coast of Massachusetts.
