The
mission of the YMCA is to put Christian principles
into practice through programs that build healthy
spirit, mind and body for all.
The Young
Women's Christian Association of the United States
of America is a women's membership movement nourished
by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained
by the richness of many beliefs and values.
Strengthened by diversity, the Association draws
together members who strive to create opportunities
for growth, leadership and power in order to attain
a common vision: peace, justice, freedom and dignity
for all people.
The Association will thrust its collective power
towards the elimination of racism wherever it exists
and by any means necessary.
