The YMCA remains committed to the ideals with which it was founded, love for neighbor, a welcome and safe haven for all, and a place where each person can experience growth and acceptance. As an inclusive, welcoming organization will continue to champion those who need us most.

We have worked collaboratively with organizations and groups within our community to build connections and support them as we all join together to strengthen the fabric and foundation of our city, county and region. We are proud of that work but know that it is not nearly enough. We can do more. Organizationally we commit to actions which affirm and champion every person of color, race, gender, age, background, or ability. Join us as the YMCA will continue to be the organization with open, welcoming doors, compassionate and able staff inside, and the commitment to do great things together. We have put the shoes on our feet but it is a long road ahead, but together, we are confident that as we walk, we can do great things.
