Ann Arbor YMCA

4a. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: All kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, under the guidance of adults who care for them and believe in their potential. YMCA programs promote character development in youth, by sharing our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

4c. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Ann Arbor Y is an association made up of people from every walk of life, working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, faith, cultural background or income level has the opportunity to live life to the fullest. In 2023, we provided $240,261 in membership scholarships for 1,203 individuals, $168,937 financial assistance dollars for youth summer camp and $78,307 in program scholarships so that no one would be turned away due to an inability to pay for any of our fee-based programs and services.

4b. HEALTHY LIVING: Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It's about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. At the Ann Arbor Y, we are committed to empowering people of all ages to lead fuller lives and to strengthening community. We provide both in person and virtual services that promote physical and mental wellness, reduce the risk of obesity and disease and help people reclaim their health.
