Armed Services YMCA San Diego

Strengthening Our Military Family

“The military service member enlists, but the whole family serves.”  

For more than 100 years, the Armed Services YMCA San Diego has worked closely with our nation’s warriors and families to understand their needs. Our programs and services are designed with their input to help them thrive in the face of adversity. 

• High Impact Youth Development creates healthy peer connections, teaches emotional regulation, provides supplemental STEAM-based education, and instills pride for the military family’s service to our nation.
• Powerful Equine Experiences strengthen body, mind, and spirit of military youth and families. Horse of the Sun Ranch activities include horseback riding, archery, gardening, hiking, and more.
• Increased Financial Well-being through year-round low to no-cost programs and events like our Food Distributions, Military Spouse Symposium, Holiday Toy Drives, and Back to School Bash help to alleviate financial burden for military families in need. 
• Community Connection builds a network of support in providing the resources that military families need to thrive.   
• Warrior Care at Naval Medical Center San Diego provides services to our Wounded, Injured, & Ill population.  Ward visits, recreation therapy, basic needs support, emergency flights and lodging, emergency childcare, and more serve hospitalized and outpatient military members and their families.
