Rocky Mount Family Ymca Inc

Healthy living - the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. Our priority is to equip and encourage individuals to pursue sustainable healthy lifestyles by taking a balanced approach to total wellness. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interest. As a result, over 6400 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.

Social responsibility - we know that when we work as one we move people and communities forward. A critical issue in our area is the gap in the community with involvement and civic engagement. The y is committed to convening and collaborating with other organizations to develop local solutions that address key issues. The y provides support for our neighbors, and opportunities for our children, adults and families to give, join in, or advocate in the name of a stronger community. We provide numerous volunteer opportunities and offer ways for community organizations , individuals and families to work together to contribute to the needs of others in our area.
