THE Y: WHAT WE STAND FOR

The Tuscarawas County YMCA makes accessible the support and opportunities that empower people and communities to learn, grow and thrive, with three core motivations:

FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Because we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, we focus our programs to more clearly cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Because we believe we have a responsibility to make a positive and measurable impact on the community’s health, we will directly leverage a mission centered on the balance of spirit, mind and body to strengthen and expand program offerings that bring families closer together, encourage healthy lifestyles and foster connections with others.

FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Because we believe in fostering the care and respect all people need and deserve, we will thoughtfully listen and aggressively respond to our community's most critical social needs.

OUR MISSION

The Tuscarawas County YMCA is committed to enriching the lives of everyone in our community by the development of healthy spirit, mind and body through membership services and programs based on Christian principles and values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

OUR VISION & PROMISE

A sense of belonging, a feeling of trust, a celebration of diversity and a mission of service. The Tuscarawas County YMCA strives to be a place for everyone to belong without judgment, an atmosphere where friendship, love and compassion flourish. Individuals can celebrate who they are and Christian principles can be put into practice daily.

OUR VALUES
