The YMCA Hockomock is a non-profit organization serving communities in southeastern Massachusetts, operating as part of the larger YMCA movement. Founded in 1917, it maintains multiple facilities across the region, including locations in North Attleboro, Franklin, Foxboro, and Mansfield. The organization’s name “Hockomock” comes from the Native American term for the local wetlands area, known as the Hockomock Swamp. The organization provides a wide range of health, fitness, and community programs for all age groups. Their services include aquatics programs, youth sports, fitness classes, childcare services, and summer camps. The Hockomock YMCA is particularly known for its Bernon Family Branch in Franklin and the North Attleboro Branch, which feature modern fitness facilities, swimming pools, and multipurpose spaces. The organization operates under a charitable mission, offering financial assistance and scholarships to ensure community access regardless of economic status. They maintain several signature programs including the Integration Initiative, which provides specialized support for individuals with disabilities, and the LiveSTRONG at the YMCA program for cancer survivors. The Hockomock YMCA serves approximately 40,000 members across its service area and employs both full-time and part-time staff members. It operates through a combination of membership fees, program revenue, and charitable donations.
