Welcome to the YMCA of Greater Charlotte
The YMCA of Greater Charlotte engages nearly 300,000 adults and children - regardless of age, gender, income, or background - at our 19 locations and two resident camps. Deeply rooted in the community since 1874, we have the long-standing relationships and physical presence not just to promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. With a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

This Black History Month, we honor and celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of leaders who have made a significant impact on our community and our YMCA.
For more than 40 years, Omega Autry has been a guiding voice in our Y. She has helped take the Y into every corner of our diverse community, and she’s made sure that everyone – regardless of color, race or background – has the opportunity to find a safe place at the Y. She’s left an indelible mark on the McCrorey YMCA where in 1995, she and her fellow board members started the annual MLK Holiday Breakfast. Omega helped set the foundation for the Stratford Richardson YMCA, which has served the West Boulevard community since 2007. A Y trustee since 2004, Omega has been a constant friend and counselor to our Y and its leaders on every level. Omega is fueled by her faith in God, and she puts her Christian values to work in steadfast service to others.
Omega was honored as the 2019 recipient of the John R. Mott Award, our Y’s highest honor that is presented annually to an individual who has devoted themselves to the community, particularly through considerable service to the Y.
