Our Areas of Impact
The Missoula YMCA joins YMCAs nationwide in embracing pillars that guide our programs and initiatives. Our three areas of focus are infused in every program and aspect of our work.
Youth Development
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen through programs that build confidence, character, and future readiness.
Healthy Living
Improving the nation’s health and well-being by promoting fitness, nutrition, and active lifestyles for people of all ages.
Social Responsibility
Giving back and providing support to neighbors through volunteerism, community programs, and partnerships that strengthen communities.
About the Missoula Family YMCA
Since 1967, the Greater Missoula Family YMCA's mission has been to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
We are committed to filling community gaps, providing healthy options for all, and adapting to serve Missoula’s most pressing needs. We believe that lasting personal and social changes are only possible when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause.
YMCAs nationwide embrace four shared core values and three shared areas of impact.
- Our four core values are Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
- Our areas of impact are Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
We work hard to infuse both our areas of impact and core values into every program and aspect of our work.
We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive space for all.
