Aquatics
YWCA Central Maine has the only regulation-size fully accessible public pool in the Lewiston-Auburn area. From swim lessons to lap swimming to red cross certification, the YWCA pool is more than just a place to swim.

Childcare
Affordable, quality childcare is essential for families to thrive. Our Early Learning, Out-of-School Care and Summer Camp programs provide safe, nurturing, and enriching spaces where children learn, grow, and build friendships — while parents gain peace of mind.

Equity & Justice
At the heart of YWCA Central Maine’s mission is the commitment to eliminate racism and empower women. Through our Equity & Justice work, we bring this mission to life by creating spaces for dialogue, learning, and action that build a more just and inclusive community for everyone.

Health and Wellness
Health & Wellness is about connection, strength, and belonging. Our programs like MS Wellness, Aqua Fit, Swim Lessons and other inclusive fitness opportunities empower individuals of all abilities to move, heal, and thrive. We foster not just physical well-being, but a sense of community where everyone feels welcome and encouraged on their wellness journey.
