The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure everyone, regardless of race, gender, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background can live life to its fullest. Our core values are caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility – they guide everything we do. At the Y, ensuring that Y staff, volunteers, members, and community stakeholders know and represent the community is vital to organizational success and advancing the Y’s cause of strengthening the community. When we practice inclusion, we address our society’s trends and remain relevant while remaining true to the YMCA's mission, goals, and values.
