• Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Faith

The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.

For Youth Development

We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. What children gain from play, whether through swimming or sports, is just as important as what they learn in traditional educational settings.

At the Y, children and teens learn values and positive behaviors, and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their full potential. Put all of that together, and that makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

For Healthy Living

We believe that being healthy and seeking improved wellness involves more than just being physically active. It also means ensuring your whole being — spirit, mind and body — is healthy and balanced. We offer programs to help you develop a healthy, wholesome outlook by participating in our athletic programs, fostering connections with friends through our lifelong learning programs, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered activities.

For Social Responsibility

We believe that by acting together with our community, we can make it a better place for everyone in it. We are committed to working with and providing support to our neighbors, in the good times and bad. We are also committed to providing opportunities for kids, teens, adults, and families to become healthier and more confident individuals. Above all else, we believe the Y is for everyone, and that is why we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.

Our Commitment to Inclusion:

The YMCA is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities.  Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender identity, ideology, income levels, national origin, race or sexual orientation, immigration status, or other protected status can reach their full potential with dignity.  Our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility – they guide everything we do.
