YMCA's purpose
The YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit is a non-profit, values-based human development organization serving southeastern Michigan. A part of the worldwide YMCA movement, the YMCA of Metro Detroit is committed to strengthening and enriching the development of kids, families, and the community.
we build strong kids, strong families and strong communities
By providing safe places, caring and trained volunteers and staff, and programs that teach life skills, the YMCA builds strong communities with a focus on kids and families. Whether it’s a place to go after school, a place to learn leadership skills, or a place for the family to play and connect, the YMCA is a dedicated resource.
The YMCA focuses special attention on children and families. It is a safe haven for young people who may otherwise be unsupervised and in need of guidance, encouragement and nurturing. Our child development, teen and camping programs are crafted to build the spirit, mind and body in a positive atmosphere and a secure environment. We offer academic and career support for teens, and serve more than 3,500 in nursery, pre-kindergarten and after school child care.
the YMCA's commitment to America
America’s YMCAs commit to extend our charitable heritage by directly engaging 25 million children and adults from all segments of our communities in achieving health of spirit, mind and body.
- Every child and youth will deepen positive values, their commitment to service and their motivation to learn.
- Every family will build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance and become more engaged with their communities.
- Every individual will strengthen their spiritual, mental and physical well-being.
