Mission: Sonoma county family ymca seeks to enhance the lives of all people through programs designed to develop spirit, mind and body. At the y, strengthening our community is our cause. We believe that positive, lasting personal and social change can only come (see schedule o) 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 every child and teen; healthy living - improving our community's health and well-being; social responsibilty - giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
Programs: Youth development - the ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. The ymca believes that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why the ymca helps young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. The ymca programs offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth.
healthy living - the ymca is a leading voice on health and well-being. The ymca brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, people in the community receive the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as the nation struggles with obesity, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment.
social responsibility - the ymca believes in giving back and supporting its neighbors. The ymca has been listening and responding to the community's most critical social needs. Ymca programs deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. The ymca engages members, participants, and volunteers in activities that strengthen the community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
