General Information - Core Values

The Y's commitment to character development makes it extraordinarily valuable to the communities and people it serves. Building on this commitment and making it part of everyday operations and programming are our challenges.

The YMCA has identified these 4 core values:

Caring - To love others, to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others.

Honesty - To tell the truth, to act in such a way that you are worthy of trust, to have integrity, making sure your choices match your values.

Respect - To treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person, including yourself.

Responsibility - To do what is right, what you ought to do, to be accountable for your behavior and obligations.

The YMCA seeks to promote these values in every experience and relationship, including staff to member, member to member, and staff to staff.
