YMCA MISSION

About the Y

The YMCA of Northern Middlesex County is open to all regardless of race, creed, gender, or financial status. Membership in our Y represents a commitment to our philosophy and mission. Founded in 1886, the emphasis of membership continues to be one of developing the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.

 
Our Mission

The Northern Middlesex YMCA offers a path toward a fuller more productive life. The YMCA will provide to a broad spectrum of our community, high quality programs, services, and facilities that improve individual and family life, encourage healthier life styles and assist youth in developing into responsible adulthood.

Affiliated with the YMCA of the USA, our Y is one of 2,000 YMCAs in this nation and part of a worldwide fellowship of Ys in 87 countries around the world.

As a member of our Y, you join a vital community organization committed to high quality services in the areas of health and wellness, fitness, child care, family enrichment, life skills for teens, aquatics, camping, youth development, adult residence and recreation.

You can have an opportunity to help guide the direction of our association. You can help us grow by introducing your friends to the Y. You can share your vision for the future of the YMCA through volunteering your services in a variety of ways:

 

Operational volunteers strengthen our programs through active leadership and instruction.

Governing members represent the membership through voting privileges and regular communications.

 

Program committees actively support and guide staff in their specific areas.

 

The Board of Directors lend guidance, determine policy, and raise funds to help support long and short term goals.
