Overview

Mission

Develop and improve the spiritual, social, mental and physical life of youth, adults, and families through providing a program of education, counseling and personal growth in fitness, wellness, illness prevention and good health maintenance which is directed toward improving the quality of life in the Community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Helping people of all ages and abilities develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the YMCA movement. Our programs are designed to help people create realistic goals for self-improvement and emphasize disease prevention through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and health education. Sports programs for youth, families and adults promote teamwork, interaction, and development of social and physical skills. Reasonable accommodations are available for those with special needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
