Mission

The mission of the YMCA of the North is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind & body for all. The Y is a cause-driven organization that strengthens communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y is committed to providing equal access to its programs, services and facilities without regard to income, race, ability, creed, national origin and sex. The YMCA celebrates the presence of differences that make each person unique. The Y intentionally engages and develops all members of the Y community and strive to connect and serve populations locally, nationally and globally. The Y's vision is "we serve relentlessly with our community until all can thrive in each stage of life." Strengthening community is the Y's cause. The YMCA believes "we are stronger together."

Program accomplishments

• Youth Development: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen. The YMCA believes in youth development, nurturing the potential of every child and teen. At the Y, children and teens explore their unique talents and interests to help them realize their potential. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow. The Y believes the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. Because of the Y, more young people in neighborhoods around the nation are taking a greater interest in learning and making smarter life choices. Key youth program areas at the Y include: Childcare: safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, grow and develop social skills. Education & Leadership: knowledge, character development, guidance and encouragement to help youth develop and realize their potential. Swim, Sports & Play: positive, fun activities that build athletic, social and interpersonal skills. Camp & Adventure: exciting, safe community for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills and make lasting friendships and memories. Youth development in the Y includes leadership development programs during out-of-school time (such as Beacons School Success and Y Leaders Club), youth civic engagement (like Center for Youth Voice including Youth in Government and Model United Nations), post-secondary educational prep (such as Teen Thrive), competitive swimming and sports, recreation activities, youth swim lessons, day and overnight camps and specialty camp programs.

• Healthy Living: Improving the nation's health and well-being. Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It is about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a place where people can work toward that balance by challenging themselves to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with friends through lifelong learning programs, or bringing loved ones closer together through many family-centered activities. At the Y, it is not about the activity people choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside. The Y demonstrates its commitment to healthy living through a variety of focus areas. Health and Wellbeing provides resources and guidance to maintain or improve physical activity, mental health and overall wellbeing. Family Time brings families together to have fun and grow together. Sports and Recreation provides healthy lifestyle activities that unite people with shared athletic and recreational interests. The Y also provides social networking opportunities and activities that connect people who share common passions and personal interests. Specific core programs that promote Healthy Living include group fitness classes, aquatics classes, youth fitness, family activities, personal and group training, open gym and swim times, and ForeverWell senior programs and activities. In 2024, more than 75,500 seniors joined and participated in ForeverWell senior programming. The Y is also engaged in preventative health measures including programs that address youth and adult obesity, diabetes, cancer survivorship and cardiac rehabilitation, as well as holistic wellbeing programs like meditation, acupuncture and other modalities that help the whole person thrive.

• Social Responsibility: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors. The YMCA believes in social responsibility, giving back and providing support to neighbors. The generosity of others is at the core of the Y's mission. It is only through the support of countless volunteers and public and private donors that the Y is able to support and give back to the communities we engage. Core program areas in this focus are: Leadership Impact Group: drives sustainable change and transforms systems within our communities to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Through an inclusive and collaborative process, we create environments where leaders can explore new perspectives, gain practical tools and take action with confidence. Newcomer Support: support systems that welcome, celebrate, educate and connect diverse demographic populations in local neighborhoods, the U.S. and around the world. Volunteerism and Giving: voluntary contributions that fund, lead and support the Y's critical work. Advocacy: collaboration with policy makers, community leaders and private and public organizations to develop youth, eliminate barriers, prevent chronic disease, build healthier communities and encourage social responsibility. Specific programs that build social responsibility are community health, community outreach, education and workforce development, environmental education, youth and family services, global education, newcomer services, leadership impact experiences, financial support, program and policy volunteers, advocacy and public policy. In 2024, more than 13,800 youth were served in Y's Youth and Family Services programs, which address violence prevention, human trafficking, food insecurity, homelessness, juvenile justice and foster care.
