Our mission is building a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.

Description:
The following goals provide focus for YMCA efforts to meet community needs: providing activities for youth which shape values and encourage lifelong community service support and strengthen all families, to encourage and support the development of healthy lifestyles, to provide older adults with opportunities to create healthy and productive lives for themselves and the community and to attract diverse individuals who will work together to create a community where all participate.

History:
In 1876, Catherine Maynard gathered a group of young Seattle pioneers including Dexter Horton and Rolland Denny in her parlor to discuss concerns over the future
of their city. Out of that meeting came a dream of a new YMCA organization which would build strong kids, strong families and a strong community. The dream of Seattle's first families has been passed from generation to generation. For this entire century, the YMCA of Greater Seattle has played a vital
role in the life of our growing and expanding community. The involvement of thousands of volunteers enables the YMCA to meet the ever changing community needs with creative and innovative services to build strength in spirit, mind and body.
