Mission: Our cause is to strengthen the foundation of our community. We do this by following our mission of putting christian principles into practice for all by promoting youth development, encouraging healthy living and practicing social responsibility. It is the goal of the ymca that no one is left out by their lack of ability to pay.
Programs: Our ymca provides high quality child care and is one of two southern oregon providers with a 5 star qris rating. We were one of a few providers in oregon selected to offer the preschool promise. This was a first time oregon program that offered free full time preschool to low income families. In addition we provided both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs.
the ymca of klamath falls provides instruction in swimming to all ages. We offered free swimming lessons to all second graders in the city schools. Our swimming lessons are designed to move children from not being able to swim at all -level 1 to being able to be comfortable in the water with a variety of swim strokes mastered level 6. We start children in the water as early as a few months old with our parent tot swim lessons.
youth sports encourage a philosophy of fair play and team work. The youth programs help give kids good role models and learn our core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. We believe every child should have an opportunity to participate and we offer financial assistance and scholarships to make sure kids that want to can participate. We also are one of two oregon cities who offer the jr. Giants summer baseball program. This is a free program for kids 5-18 to learn baseball skills as well as reading and character skills.
