Here at The Y, Everyone Is Welcome

The Y is a membership organization open to all people. We welcome all, of every age, background, belief, ability, and financial circumstance. 

Guided by our commitment to strengthening community, we strive to be a place where every person feels a sense of belonging and has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity. Our programs and services are shaped by the people we serve, reflecting the unique strengths, experiences, and needs of our community. 

We work to build meaningful connections across differences and to create environments where individuals and families can grow, thrive, and contribute. By embedding these principles into our programs, partnerships, and daily practices, we remain focused on our purpose: ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors can find connection, opportunity, and a place to belong.

 
 

Our Mission

The Mission of the Wenatchee Valley YMCA is to strengthen youth, families, and communities by promoting Christian principles and putting them into practice through leadership and programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

 

Our Cause

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That's why we focus our work in three areas:

Youth Development - Nurturing the potential of children and teens Healthy Living - Improving community health and well-being Social Responsibility - Working together to support our neighbors

Our Principles for Organizational Impact

  • All people are unique and have the capacity to reach their full potential with dignity.

  • People that are connected to themselves and others make for welcoming and connected environments and communities.

  • Differences are assets that create a sense of belonging; we are committed to creating a culture of belonging for all people, not for all behaviors.

  • Our shared history and experiences shape who we are as a global organization, how we connect with others across borders, and how we work together for a better world.

  • In honoring our mission, we are stronger when we embed For All in everything we do.

Tribal Land Recognition

The Wenatchee Valley YMCA (Y) strives to promote for all people a community of recognition and respect. The Y operates upon and serves the communities enriched by the traditional lands of the P’squosa people (known as the Wenatchi during treaty negotiations). We make this acknowledgement in hopes of developing genuine relationships with the P’squosa people and to recognize and express gratitude to the P’squosa ancestors, the first inhabitants and stewards of the Wenatchee Valley, for their foresight in caring for and respecting the land and waterways.
