Our Mission Statement
The Anaheim Family YMCA is a 501(c)(3) organization established in 1911. Through involvement at the Y, people in our communities will be spiritually, mentally and physically healthy. Our youth feel safe and empowered to lead significant lives. All relationships are nurtured and people feel connected to one another and responsible in building a sense of community for all.
About the Anaheim Family YMCA
The Y is a cause-driven organization focused on three key areas: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We believe a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors.
Our programs, services, and initiatives enable youth to realize their potential, offer families ways to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind and body, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster social responsibility.
Our Cause Defines Us
We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Our Focus Areas
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT – With the Y’s help, kids in neighborhoods across Anaheim are more interested in learning and making smarter life choices. At the Y, kids learn their ABCs, learn to share, learn about sportsmanship, build leadership skills and most importantly, learn how to be themselves. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
HEALTHY LIVING – Because the Y is for everyone, we bring together children, adults and families of all abilities like no other organization can. As a result, hundreds of thousands in Anaheim are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY – Thanks to the generosity of volunteers and public and private donors who give to the Y, our community is stronger. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Our Values
Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility: Our values are celebrated by staff, members and volunteers, and provide a positive foundation for all YMCA programs and a healthy connection with others.
Our Desired Impact
Through involvement at the Y, people in our communities are spiritually, mentally and physically healthy. Our youth feel safe and empowered to lead significant lives. All relationships are nurtured and people feel connected to one another and responsible in building a sense of community for all.
