We are for youth development, healthy living and social responsiblity.
Some of the Southwestern YMCA goals are to teach and model character-building values to kids and teens. To provide health and wellness opportunities for the whole family. To provide a safe and welcoming gathering place for youth, teens and families from all segments of the community. To provide a welcoming destination for youth, teens and families. To create opportunities for older adults to stay active, build confidence and socialize. And to provide a sense of belonging for youth and teens, especially low-income families.
