Overview

Mission

Under the guidance of christian principles, the joplin family y seeks to serve the community by providing an environment and activities that enable all people to achieve their full potential through the development of spirit, body and mind.

What it reported doing in 2025

Other programs include: fitness classes are taught by certified instructors, with group fitness classes providing community, accountability and guidance in how to properly perform the exercises. The result is lasting friendships and a workout routine that participants want to stick with. In aquacise classes, the buoyancy of the water supports participants while the resistance of the water challenges them, allowing them to increase endurance, range of motion and muscle strength, as well as flexibility, balance and cardiovascular health. Youth sports programs are offered that give children an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of sports, but more importantly, the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and a healthy lifestyle.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
