Fantastic experience: The staff are extremely knowledgeable and have years of experience in their Individual fields of expertise. Most importantly, they are dedicated, loyal, and lifelong members of our community. Thus, they understand the struggles that children must overcome in order to be successful in life. They work extremely well as a team and they have a shared vision of success for the organization as well as the community as a whole. Coach Trey, Coach D, Sensei Marvin Harris, Sensei Jerome Harris, Sensei Jerome and all of the staff work hard to create a safe and nurturing environment that is centered around teaching the whole child. They constantly go beyond the call of duty in order to meet the needs of the children in their care. It is truly reassuring and inspirational to witness this level of compassion and empathy from the teachers at the YMCA. It truly does take a village to raise a child and the YMCA has always been an integral component of this village in our community.

Fantastic experience: I love the Dorchester Y. They have the best staff, you never have to wait for equipment, and the pool is great. Also it is literally the cleanest YMCA (or gym) I have experienced. Super affordable monthly price. Enough said!

Fantastic experience: Saturday adult swimming lessons at the Dorchester YMCA have been a godsend for me. I was so excited to learn anything that improved my time spent in the water and have been blessed by both the challenging nature of the instruction and the peace that comes from exercising and completing the different steps. Our instructor is fabulous and I am contemplating going through an additional series once this course is done so that I can get good practice. Thank you for extending this opportunity to the community!

Fantastic experience: I bring my kids here for swim lessons and I was so impressed with the staff at this YMCA. They are welcoming. The swimming instructor is amazing! They hired the right person for this job as he is very engaging with the children and the parents. The lesson components were beyond my expectations. Now every weekend the whole family looks forward to going to the Dorchester YMCA in Washington Street.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The Dorchester YMCA is conveniently located with ample parking. The staff are all incredibly sweet and helpful. The location is very clean and all COVID-19 protocols are 100% followed. I go mostly for the pool, but will likely begin using their clean and large fitness center as well.
