Community Engagement at YMCA Dublin

We engage with and support the local community with our Community Hub space, through Community Employment schemes for those who are long term unemployed, social housing for those who are experiencing homelessness and Breathe, a space where you can be yourself. We run many community events throughout the year such as our community breakfasts, Celebrate the Y day and Family Fun Day.
