Founded in 1910 the mission of the YMCA of Metropolitan Huntsville is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body. YMCA programs guide youth, support and enrich family living, promote healthy lifestyles, and enhance multicultural understanding. Every program seeks to instill the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in each and every participant. The YMCA is open to all, no matter gender, ethnicity, age or religion and through our Annual Giving Campaign - Building Strong Communities...One Kid at a Time, we are insured that no one is ever turned away from YMCA services because they lack finacial resources. In 2005 alone over $250,000 in subsidy was provided to those who needed YMCA service but were unable to pay full fees. The YMCA is a volunteer driven organization. There are opportunities for service to the commmunity through program volunteering, policy making volunteering, operational volunteering, fund raising financial monitoring to help the organization make the determinations necessary for meeting the social needs of their communities while finding the resources to make it possible.
