YMCA of the Roses

It is the mission of the YMCA of the Roses to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We exist to develop and practice the principles of faith, hope, love, honesty, respect and responsibility.

This year we celebrate 170 years of spreading love and strengthening our community through programs focused on  Healthy Living, Social Responsibility, and Youth Development. (To learn more about our mission and history, click here).

For ExtraGive 2024, we're raising money to ensure ALL our neighbors can access relevant and sustainable programs to improve their lives.

Love your neighbors and be the “Y” we can continue this mission for the next 170 years and beyond!

Youth Development:

At the YMCA of the Roses, we believe that all kiddos should be given the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore.

We know the world can be a challenging place for young people, especially those who come from low-income households or from underserved populations. That's why we offer a wide range of safe, accessible, and affordable programs for all families seeking reliable childcare or enriching extracurricular opportunities for their kiddos. Click here to learn more!

Healthy Living:

At the YMCA of the Roses, we believe that all people, regardless of ability, should be given a supportive and welcoming environment to reach their wellness and fitness goals.

Healthy living programs help people make better lifestyle choices and improve their overall health and wellbeing. Our programs focus on various aspects of wellness such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and chronic disease prevention and management. Additionally, social and mental wellness are often overlooked, but our programs promote social interaction and community participation, which can play a crucial role in helping individuals lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

Social Responsibility:

At the YMCA of the Roses, we believe that all people should be given the tools, the support, and the opportunity to overcome obstacles and thrive.

Throughout our community, many individuals and families deal with housing and food insecurity, and lack of access to vital resources like affordable childcare or employment.

Our struggling neighbors need support, compassion, and patience. Thanks to our donors, we can uplift the members in our neighborhood out of many hardships and into stability by providing assistance and support to individuals and families that are struggling. This includes food assistance, housing assistance, workforce development opportunities, and more.
