Mission Statement
Since 1876, the YMCA of Greater San Antonio has been faithfully guided by its Mission to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Y's impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good.
About This Cause
The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility – because a stronger community can only be achieved when we invest in our children, our health and our neighbors. Our programs enable kids to realize their potential, prepare teens for college, offer ways for families to have fun together, empower people to lead healthier lives, and help foster a nationwide service ethic: • 12 local Y’s in San Antonio, Boerne, New Braunfels, Cibolo, & Schertz • 3 state-licensed early learning centers (pre-school) • 54 afterschool program sites in 8 school districts, including 2 teen centers at San Antonio Housing Authority communities • YMCA Camp Flaming Arrow – resident camp in Hunt, TX • 200 program/partner sites • 900 youth sports teams • Y Integrated Wellness – medically-based wellness program for chronic disease prevention • Y Diabetes Prevention Program – partnership with SA Metro Health • Aquatics programs – neighborhood Safety Around Water program offering free water education and swim instruction in community apartment complexes In the past several years, The YMCA of Greater San Antonio has purposely expanded its scope of work to impact more community youth, families, and seniors than it has in the past decade. The Y is now more intentional in the focus areas of youth academic education, school-based wellness, staff development, and chronic illness prevention/intervention programs in which those served are intimately involved in creating their own pathway to wellness.
