Family at the YMCA

The South Sound YMCA has a unique approach in our work with families. It is an approach that connects back to the YMCA mission of offering programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Our YMCA serves families in five key areas:

1. Through membership
2. By creating a family-friendly YMCA
3. By adding family components to Y programs
4. By developing stand-alone family programs
5. By offering YMCA signature programs like Family Time or Adventure Guides

The goal of the South Sound YMCA Family Programs is to help the individuals that make up families grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. To accomplish this goal, South Sound YMCA programs and program activities help children and families lead healthier lives; grow personally; improve personal and familial relationships; strengthen positive values; build developmental assets; and most importantly, make sure what we do with families in the Y is fun and helps families enjoy life and each other.
