The YMCA is about making a difference in people's lives. Providing a life-long positive experience to our members is what we are about. Building a team commitment among our staff to take ownership in this endeavor is how we will succeed.
 
The YMCA is not just a place. The YMCA and its spirit can be present wherever you are as a member or staff. It is not confined to four walls. We want our members to feel this experience whether they are within our buildings, on a soccer field or just talking with a neighbor.
 
The YMCA's programs and activities help meet the needs of our membership and are the cornerstone of the YMCA experience. Our commitment should be to provide quality, fun, enrichment and learning in all we do.
 
The philosophy of our mission is to be open and available to all. We strive to turn no one away regardless of his or her situation in life. We will do our best to help them in any way possible. This philosophy helps drive and motivate us everyday.
