YMCA of Greater Boston presents the YGB Games, an annual corporate team-building initiative designed to support a corporate ethos of giving back. Through friendly competition for a great cause, the YGB Games fosters camaraderie among colleagues. Your team will face off against competitors in games like dodgeball, basketball, etc. As a bonus, when you & your colleagues decide to register, you also will be significantly improving the lives of youth and families in the Greater Boston community.

The funds raised through the YGB Games supports the life-changing work and mission of the YMCA of Greater Boston. For over 170 years, America’s first YMCA has been committed to social issues through strengthening the physical, mental, and spiritual health of all in the community, including:
