At the YMCA of Greater Tulsa, We believe everyone deserves opportunities, no matter who you are, or where you're from. We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable. At the Y, we measure the success of our cause by how well we engage communities in our three areas of focus:
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the nation's health and well-being.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
The Y is for everyone. Our programs, services and initiatives enable kids to realize their potential, prepare teens for college, offer ways for families to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind and body; prepare people for employment, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster a nationwide service ethic. And that's just the beginning.
The YMCA of Greater Tulsa has experienced significant employee turnover and numerous layoffs in the last several years, indicating that their financial and leadership situations are not stable As in past years. They have made infastructure improvements as well as absorbing an independent Y in Bixby, OK. The organization has been unable to recoup these investments in membership numbers and revenue. In addition, several new fitness facilities have established a presence in the Tulsa market, creating a competitive environment in which the Y has struggled to maintain a foothold.
