Mission Statement
The YMCA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
About This Cause
The Two Rivers Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) is a family-oriented organization committed to providing spiritual, mental and physical development and leadership opportunities consistent with Christian values for members and constituents through excellence in programs, services and facilities. The Y strengthens the foundations of community with programs that focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility at its main facility at 2040 53rd Street in Moline and the Y’s Sylvan Boathouse on 17th Street on the Mississippi River in Moline. Youth Development The makeup of today’s household is more diverse than ever and demands on parents and guardians to provide for their families leaves less time to spend with children of all ages. As a result, our community has seen increased rates of childhood obesity and a widening gap in the academic achievement of elementary age youth. The YMCAs Kids Gym gives children under 10 years old the ability to be active and have fun with other kids while they are enrolled in preschool childcare and summer camp programs or while their parents workout. Our Licensed preschool center teaches kids character development, life skills and prepares them to be successful in school. 100% of the children who graduate our center leave the program kindergarten-ready. The YMCA’s After School Enrichment Program is focused on providing healthy activity outside of school hours and helping close the achievement gap at 24-school locations across the Illinois Quad Cities. When school is not in session our work continues at our YMCA facility in the Schools Out Club and Summer Day Camp. Healthy Living The YMCA offers aquatics and wellness for all regardless of age, skill or fitness level. The Health Improvement Center located on our second floor accommodates individuals needing specialize training and group health programs that include; LIVESTRONG program for cancer survivors, phase III and IV cardiac rehab, beginner fitness coaching sessions and a pilot Diabetes Prevention Program. Our main Wellness Center area offers many and various fitness programs for our members. We also offer a warm therapy pool and a lap pool where various aquatics exercise and therapy programs help individuals lead healthier and more active lifestyles. Our rowing programs at the Y's Sylvan Boathouse, located on the Mississippi River offers programs that include; Juniors program, Jr. Competitive rowing program, Adaptive Rowing, Learn to Row and Masters Program. Social Responsibility Our Income Based Pricing structure enables our Y to reach more low and middle income families. Because the Two Rivers YMCA turns no one away due to income or ability, everyone has access to Y programs and facility that helps individuals, regardless of income or ability, have the opportunity to reach their full God-given potential. Two Rivers YMCA has a Diversity Taskforce that ensures we continue to develop strategies and structures that help support inclusive programs and facilities.
