Springfield YMCA

The mission and purpose of the ymca is to serve the community by reaching out to everyone in the community in a spirit of inclusion and fellowship. Ymca's put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Ymca programs focus on four core values-caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We serve men, women and children of all ages, races, abilities, incomes, national origins and religions. We provide financial assistance to those who need it. We identify needs within our community and respond to them so that the entire community benefits from our efforts. The basic objective of the ymca of Springfield is to aid in the development of a Christian standard of living, conduct and life purpose in its members and constituency. In the attainment of this goal, the ymca seeks to promote the physical, mental and common good, respect for personality and the application of the golden rule in human relationships.
