LE MARS AREA FAMILY YMCA
The Le Mars YMCA was born out of a commitment by local neighbors to better our community. Today, that commitment to community remain at the forefront of all we stand for and do.
OUR MISSION: The Le Mars YMCA is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We are committed to being a positive part of our community by promoting the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
OUR CAUSE: 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 AREA OF FOCUS: The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
OUR VISION: We envision a future in which all people achieve health, gain confidence, make connections and feel secure at every stage of life. The Y is committed to developing new generations of changemakers who will create the communities we all want to live in.
