About This Cause
The Y is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose and each other. Working locally, we focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being, and inspiring action in and across communities. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, perspectives and generations, we ensure that we all have access to the opportunities, relationships and resources necessary to learn, grow and thrive. In 1853, the YMCA of Greater Louisville was founded and chartered as a membership organization. The 10th YMCA in the United States, today we have 10 convenient branch locations throughout the Greater Louisville area. We are also the largest provider of before- and after-school care in the state, celebrate the most extensive Black Achievers program in the country and are the proud founder of Safe Place Services, acting as the national headquarters of this outstanding organization. As a nonprofit organization, our involvement in the community is our measure of success. We are proud to have been selected to serve as a YMCA Activate America - Pioneering Healthier Communities association. We are committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities and emphasize the core Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. What We Do: At the YMCA, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We believe that everyone is better off when we all have the ability to be our best selves. Youth Development: We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they really are and what they can achieve. That's why, through the Y, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Healthy Living: The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, millions of youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to reach their health goals. Social Responsibility: At the Y, we foster the care and respect all people need and deserve. That can mean developing skills and emotional balance through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse populations through global services or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers.
