Mission: The itasca county family ymca (ymca) is a charitable, community service organization founded in 1979 with a mission to strengthen ourselves, families and communities by promoting growth in spirit, mind and body. The ymca includes men, women and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions and is dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We put christian principles into practice through programs that promote youth development, healthy lifestyles, strong values, leadership development, community interaction, and international understanding. All persons are welcome at our ymca, regardless of their ability to pay. Our ymca is founded and led by volunteers from our community; volunteers serve as mentors, tutors, coaches, program leaders, instructors and policy makers.
Programs: Youth development our children's and youth programs including weefolksgarten preschool, educare afterschool program, camp wannago - summer daycamp, the youth center and youth sports offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Youth programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2017 we provided $37,159 in financial assistance to youth people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. Healthy living the ymca is a leading voice on health and well being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, 6550 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2017 we provided $89,222 in financial assistance to adults and families who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. Social responsibility our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 30 years. Ymca programs such as our free active living center, free drop-in youth center, volunteer programs, and annual support campaign are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to produce change, bridge gaps, and overcome obstacles. In 2017,470 volunteers donated 10,781 hours of time to assist in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive
