Welcome to the East Side/Mt. Hope YMCA! 
This is your Y! 

The East Side/Mt.Hope YMCA, conveniently located on the corner of Hope Street and Doyle Avenue on the East Side of Providence, serves the community between Blackstone Boulevard, North Main Street, Wickenden Street and the Pawtucket line. Walk into the East Side/Mt. Hope YMCA and you are likely to meet a neighbor, friend or relative. If you don’t know anyone, you soon will feel right at home as we strive to create an atmosphere in which all people are made to feel welcome. 

As a proud leader in the national YMCA’s Activate America public-health initiative, we are no longer just about swimming, gym and weights. Our goal is to better serve those of you who are struggling to lead healthier lifestyles through education, motivation, and encouragement. To that end, we offer convenient schedules,  programs and facilities for the whole family, for all ages and for all abilities. Prime Time, our babysitting program, gives parents the opportunity to work out while your children are safe and engaged in fun activities. Our 25-yard pool is busy from early morning to late evening with lap swimmers, swim lessons and water exercise. Certified personal trainers are available to help you achieve your wellness goals, and our excellent group exercise and yoga instructors will help keep you motivated in a variety of classes, ranging from beginner to the hard-core crazies.   

Providing Child Care for the children and families of our community is another avenue the YMCA has to help educate and empower families to live healthier lifestyles. The Mount Hope Child Care Center, located just across Hope Street serves children ages 18 months to 5 years.

As we move forward, we will enhance our role as a leader for health and wellness in our community and engage partners at a local and national level to collectively advance healthy living for all the members of our community.
