Mission Statement
The YMCA of Dyer County is a membership-based, volunteer-driven agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for a common good. We are a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. To fulfill our mission, our YMCA provides over 62 programs within Dyer County in the areas of health and physical education, leadership and development, training, youth and family services, and youth and adult recreation. Through these programs and services we help our participants develop core character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

OUR FOCUS All that we do is categorized into one of three areas of focus – youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT At our Y, we are nurturing the potential of every child, youth and teen in our programs.

It is how we help communities and the “us” who live in them realize their incredible possibilities. We can’t do it alone.
