FOR ALL

Simply put the Y is for everyone. We believe that keeping our doors open to all strengthens our organization and its ability to meet the needs of the communities we serve. In an increasingly global society, fortifying our commitment to inclusive behaviors, policies, and environments is more important than ever. The YMCA values and respects the diverse nature of the individuals and communities we serve and chooses to be inclusive through its acceptance of all individuals.
