Program areas at YMCA of Morgan County
Youth development - our Ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our Ymca programs such as 21st century community learning center after school enrichment, before and after school programs, preschool, summer camp, youth sports and swim lessons offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth.
Social responsibility - our Ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs. Ymca based collaborations such as center for working families, promise Indiana, high school equivalency classes, and grab and go dinners are examples of how we deliver training, resources, and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. We engage Ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
Healthy living - the Ymca is a leading voice on health and well being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, people in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our Ymca meets these needs by providing programs such as family connect, made, fitness classes, and sports leagues.
