At the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington, our mission is to foster the spiritual, mental and physical development of individuals, families and communities according to the ideals of inclusiveness, equality and mutual respect for all.

WE BUILD STRONG KIDS...
Children are growing up in a complex world and experiencing complex emotional issues. The YMCA provides opportunities for children to be children and fosters them through youth development, child care, wellness, sports and recreational programs that help children to grow up healthy.

WE BUILD STRONG FAMILIES...
The YMCA offers programs that bring parents and children together, giving families a chance to strengthen their relationships in a safe, caring and welcoming environment.

WE BUILD STRONG COMMUNITIES...
The YMCA celebrates diversity and designs its programs to meet the needs of the community.

We impact lives every day. Feel free to share your YMCA story with us, so we can let the world know how much the Y means to you. Please email your YMCA story to info@ymcadc.org.
