mission statement

To help people develop christian character and to aid in building a christian community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential in spirit, mind, and body by participating in YMCA programs and classes that are designed for improvement of physical, mental, social, moral, and educational conditions. The YMCA welcomes everyone, regardless of age, race, sex, faith, ethnicity, ability, or religion. YMCA membership activities create supportive communities of members who are involved in a variety of enriching activities, recreational and supportive social networks, and a sense of belonging. Ymcas are founded by volunteers, led by volunteers, and encourage volunteerism in their programs. Dues are based on community affordability, and financial assistance is available for those who cannot afford to pay the full cost of membership.
