Young Mens Christian Association Of Columbia Willamette

FOR HEALTHY LIVING Because the Association believes it has a responsibility to make a positive and measurable impact on the community's health, we directly leverage a mission centered on the balance of spirit, mind and body to strengthen and expand program offerings that bring families closer together, encourage healthy lifestyles and foster connections with others. HEALTH AND WELLNESS programs are designed to develop and maintain the well-being of participants through life-long programs that promote a healthy lifestyle. Activities are provided to support mental, physical and spiritual health. Participation in the Association's health and wellness programs offer opportunities for friendship and community, a sense of well-being, self-confidence and improved mental abilities and cognition.

FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Because the Association believes in fostering the care and respect all people in need, it thoughtfully listens and aggressively responds to communities' most critical social needs. OPEN TO ALL: The Association welcomes individuals from all incomes, ages and abilities. The YMCA serves tens of thousands of people in diverse communities within the Columbia-Willamette area. The Association brings together young and old, men and women, people of all faiths, backgrounds and incomes. Last year the Association provided over $150,000 in scholarships, underwritten or sponsored programs and services for children, youth and families.
