Greater Portland Branch YMCA

Our Mission

Our YMCA is committed to building strong kids, individuals, families, and communities through programs and services that promote a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, regardless of ability to pay.

The YMCA’s Commitment to America by 2012

Our Y is one of 2,686 YMCA’s across the country that has committed to extend our reach by directly engaging 25 million children and adults from all segments of our communities in achieving health of spirit, mind and body. We also committed to build on our 160-year charitable heritage of community leadership by being a catalyst for changes that enhance the well-being of all.

Every child and youth will develop positive values, an ethic of service and a desire to learn.

Every family will build stronger bonds, achieve greater balance and become more connected in their communities.

Every individual will build the relationships, knowledge and confidence to make healthy choices to improve their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
