At the YMCA, our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Our vision is for a vital and significant force building strong, thriving and equitable communities dedicated to the health and well-being of all. We are a welcoming place for all and our programs reflect that commitment.
The Y is one of only a few non-profit organizations embedded throughout the community and positioned to help address inequity and social determinants of health while also pivoting and responding to changing community needs and environments.
Our Strategic Road Map
In 2019, we developed a Strategic Road Map to guide the YMCA of Metro Denver on our four-year path to further meet our vision and mission, focus our impacts in the short- and long-term and build organizational capacity.
Develop a new generation of changemakers
Applying social, emotional and academic learning practices in programs from early childhood to out of school time to teen leadership.
Build healthy spirit, mind and body
Holistic wellness when and where it is most needed including evidence-based programs that reduce the impact of chronic disease.
Uplift and create equitable and cohesive communities
Addressing food insecurity; health, education, racial equity policy; and promoting longevity and community connection.
