When school lets out for the summer, thousands of children lose access to the healthy meals they depend on each day. This summer, the Y will serve more than 25,000 meals and snacks to children, teens, and families across our community. Your gift today will help nourish bodies, minds, and spirits.
Fall Early Learning Enrollment is Open
Give your child a strong start at the MetroWest YMCA Early Learning Center in Framingham. Our nurturing, play-based programs help toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-kindergarten students learn, grow, and build confidence in a safe, engaging environment. Now enrolling for fall with 5-day toddler programs and 2-, 3-, and 5-day preschool options.
Register for Fall 1 Programs!
The Fall 1 program session runs from Sept 8 - Nov 1st. Member registration opens on August 11. This is your season for sports, fitness, adventure, nutrition/cooking, enrichment, aquatics and more.
Summer Eats for Youth and Teens!
From June 29- August 21, 2026, the MetroWest YMCA will join partners for Summer Eats, a state-wide program that makes sure that youth ages 18 and under have nutritious food to eat during the summer.
Water Safety for Families
Drowning can happen quickly and quietly—even when adults are nearby. A quick glance at your phone can become a dangerous distraction. That’s why the Y is asking parents and caregivers to put their phones away, and to assign a Water Watcher—a designated adult who maintains constant visual contact with children in or near the water. Remember: Phones Down, Eyes UpTM, while at the pool, lakefront, or Ocean.
