Our Mission
To put Christian principles into practice by promoting youth, adult and family activities that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

What does this mean?
For over 120 years, the YMCA of the Fox Cities has been a unifying force in the Fox Valley. The YMCA links individuals from diverse social and economic backgrounds with an inclusive, collaborative spirit, guided by Christian principles. The YMCA positively impacts the quality of life for more than 60,000 people each year, giving children skills and values which protect the integrity of family life and neighborhoods.

We strive to make our YMCA the very best by upholding quality and standards and providing excellent service to members and participants.

Through our work and commitment to our mission, we save and change lives, build buildings, send kids to camp and, through our example, help people experience the love of God.

The YMCA is for all. We make sure that everyone, no matter their age, gender, race or ability, is welcomed as part of the YMCA family.
