Mission Statement
The mission of the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington is to foster the spiritual, mental, and physical development of individuals, families, and communities according to the ideals of inclusiveness, equality, and mutual respect for all.
About This Cause
The YMCA of Metropolitan Washington was incorporated by an Act of Congress approved on June 28, 1864. Today, the YMCA is a cause-driven, nonprofit organization that is for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The Y builds strong communities by investing in our children, our health, and our neighbors. As a nonprofit organization the YMCA is comprised of donors, policy and program volunteers, members and program participants, and staff who are committed to answering the call to serve and to be of service. We believe it is our duty to put into action programs that sustain and engage us all, programs that encourage us to do better. In 2019, more than 1,350,000 men, women, and children in the District of Columbia, Southern Maryland, and Northern Virginia participated in YMCA programs. Moreover, the Y distributed more than $2,100,000 in financial assistance to individuals and families who otherwise could not afford to participate in our programs. In the District of Columbia the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington provides licensed preschool and afterschool programs at YMCA Calomiris, YMCA Capital View, and YMCA Anthony Bowen. Y Anthony Bowen is a full-service health and wellness membership center with an indoor swimming pool. The YMCA also has preschool programs, accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, in three federal office buildings in the District. In Southern Maryland YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase and YMCA Silver Spring are also full-service health and wellness membership centers with indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
