Mission Statement
The Y is a charitable organization in Central Maryland dedicated to developing the full potential of every individual through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Our Vision
The Y will build a more connected Central Maryland community in which Y membership creates a sense of belonging, engagement, empathy, health, and well-being for all. This greater sense of belonging and connection will impact people and families more deeply across all of the Y’s points of access.
Our Focus
At the Y, we are committed to providing family-oriented, affordable, high quality programs that focus on building healthy and connected communities through Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
The Y is a place for everyone. People from all walks of life are embraced and financial assistance is provided to actively engage the entirety of the community.
Our Core Values and Operating Principles
Our programs and services are infused with our four positive character values: Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. And every single day, in every Y site and program, we ask that our associates, members, volunteers and participants embrace our four core operating principles to ensure the best experience for everyone involved: Cleanliness, Belonging, Engagement and Safety.
