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: Provide activities for youth which shape values and encourage lifelong community service; support and strengthen all families; encourage and support the development of healthy lifestyles; provide older adults with opportunities to create healthy and productive lives for themselves and the community; and 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 ever-changing community needs with creative and innovative services to build strength in spirit, mind and body.
