The YMCA believes we all need a place to belong - a place where we genuinely care about one another, share in decisions, treat each other with respect and pull together for a common cause. Ys bring people from different walks of life together in an environment where all can feel comfortable. They are natural incubators for ideas to help solve community problems. They get things done by working with other neighborhood groups and organizations.
