Mission & Values

The mission of the South Sound YMCA is to provide youth and community an affordable and accessible resource for the positive growth and development of spirit, mind, and body through recreational, health, and leadership programs. The South Sound YMCA has remained a vital community asset by providing programs and activities that meet the needs of all.

Stated simply, the YMCA is for everyone. We strive to make all YMCA programs and memberships available to all in our community regardless of financial constraints. To learn more about financial assistance click here.

We are committed to building a healthy spirit, mind, and body in everyone that we serve through quality health and fitness programs, dedicated volunteers and staff, and by embracing our four core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and the 40 Developmental Assets.

Volunteers are at the heart of our mission, and your involvement in the YMCA is vital to our success. You can make a difference by coaching a youth sports team, serving on a committee, or helping to raise needed funds for financial assistance, among many other opportunities.
