Our YMCA Today
Today, through our six
neighborhood YMCA branches, child care sites
and outreach centers, the YMCA of the Mid-Peninsula positively
impacts more than 50,000 people with a broad range of programs
tailored to the needs of an ever growing and changing
community.
A non-profit, non-sectarian organization,
the YMCA is governed by community volunteers who serve
on its Board of Directors. One hundred percent of all
funds raised through our annual Community Support Campaign are used to underwrite program fees for children and
families who require financial assistance.

on the values of caring , honesty, respect and responsibility
improves life through experiences enriching spirit, mind
and body for all.
Our

respect and
responsibility, in all of our programs, activities
and interpersonal interactions taking place at our
YMCA branches.
- Caring: To love others, to be sensitive
to the well being of others, to help others.
- Honesty: To tell the truth, to act in such a way that you
are worthy of trust, to have integrity; making
sure your choices match your values.
- Respect: To
treat others as you would have them treat you; to
value the worth of every person,
including
yourself.

what you ought to do; to be accountable for your
behavior and
obligations.
