Mission & Values
A shared purpose. Everyday choices.
Our mission is why we're here. Our values are how we show up for one another, whether we're teaching a swim lesson, welcoming a new member or working with a community partner.
Our Mission
To instill values and provide opportunities for lifelong personal growth and the development of a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
Our Four Core Values
Caring
Noticing the needs of others and responding with kindness, like a counselor sitting with a homesick camper.
Honesty
Communicating truthfully and building trust through our actions.
Respect
Recognizing each person's dignity, experiences and contributions, on the court, in the classroom and at the front desk.
Responsibility
Following through on commitments and caring for our shared community.
Our Areas of Focus
Youth Development
Childcare, camp, swim lessons, sports and teen leadership that help kids discover their interests and potential.
Healthy Living
Fitness, wellness and programs for older adults and people managing health conditions.
Social Responsibility
Financial assistance, volunteering and partnerships that bring neighbors together and open doors for everyone.
A Y for All
"For all" is in our mission for a reason. We welcome people of every age, ability, faith, background and income. If you have questions about access, financial assistance or finding a program, we're here to help.
Do I need to belong to a particular faith to participate?
No. The Y welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.
