Mission
Mission Statement
Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Our Purpose
The Association, in harmony with the YMCA national purpose, perceives itself as a Christian fellowship dedicated to improving the quality of life through programs and services which provide opportunities for people to reach their highest potential, develop a positive attitude of self and others, appreciate good health and fitness, acquire a value system and maintain spiritual awareness that manifests itself in our daily lives.
Our Values
The YMCA is committed to putting Christian principles into practice. YMCA programs, activities and relationships teach and model Christian values in order to strengthen kids, families and communities. Caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith are core values evident in all that we do.
Character Development
The YMCA is challenging people, especially children and teens to accept and demonstrate positive values. The five core values of the YMCA of Greater Houston are emphasized in all programs: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Caring and Faith. Through our programs and the modeling of these values, the YMCA continues to meet the needs of our ever-changing community.
