ABOUT THE YMCA

You may have noticed that the Y is changing the way we present ourselves. For the first time in 43 years we are unveiling a new brand strategy. 

This change comes at a critical time, because it is designed to increase understanding of the impact we are making in the community. Our nation and community face unprecedented challenges, and the Y wants to open its doors to more people who can benefit from what we have to offer.

At the Y, we have always known that positive change only comes about when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. That is why we are here. We have three areas of focus:

• Youth Development, because young people need caring adults to provide support, guidance and encouragement as they grow.

• Healthy Living, because wellness in spirit, mind and body strengthens our very being, and enhances our interactions with others.

• Social Responsibility, because we truly are in this together, and together we can harness our individual strengths and bring about positive change around us.

So while we are changing our appearance to better reflect the work we do and the positive impact we make, we are still supporting this community and dedicated to the mission of our Christian heritage in the same way we always have. We look forward to enriching more lives, more families, and to further strengthen this community for decades to come.

As always, we welcome your input. We invite you to share your thoughts with us.
