The Y is dedicated to providing comprehensive programs and services that enrich our community — and all of the people who live in it — in fulfillment of our mission.

About Us

Our Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
The Y’s Commitment to America is developing new generations of changemakers who will create communities we all want to live in. We envision communities where all people achieve health, gain confidence, make connections and feel secure at every stage of life.
Our Vision

A commitment to a better future — for all.
The Y is committed to partnering with young people to create stronger communities for all. We envision a future in which all people – no matter who they are or where they come from – get the support they need, when they need it, to reach their full potential.
Our Values

Guided by our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, the Y is dedicated to giving people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
Our History

When George Williams founded the first YMCA in Industrial Revolution-era London, he sought to create a supportive community to help young men like himself address pressing social challenges. The idea found a home in the U.S. seven years later. The last 170+ years have seen the Y's mission grow exponentially, and today the Y engages more than 10,000 communities across the U.S.

Our purpose defines us.

Working locally, we focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being and inspiring action in and across our community.

Our mission driven commitment to serve all is demonstrated through our Open Door financial assistance program. We offer thousands in free or reduced memberships and programs to children and families and serve our Y community through dynamic initiatives and programs like Healthy Kids Day, Youth and Family Memberships and more.
