Youth Development
The YMCA’s focus on youth development is evident in their Child Development and Youth programs. These include child care, preschool, before and after school, sports, fitness, arts, education, leadership, and camp programs. These programs help children develop values, improve skills, and build healthy relationships, which results in positive behaviors, better health, and academic achievement.
Healthy Living
Through the SRYMCA’s five branches and hundreds of programs, youth, adults, and families have access to endless opportunities to achieve healthy living. There is a place for everyone in the YMCA’s programs, which include swimming, land and water sports, weight loss and nutrition, disease prevention and management, wellness coaching, workplace wellness, group exercise, baby/parenting wellness, and a dozen community-based races and triathlons held throughout the year. YMCA staff are qualified and devoted to providing the support and safety one may need on his/her journey to a healthier, happier life.
Social Responsibility
The YMCA’s commitment to social responsibility and to providing support to community members of all ages to help them reach their potential and live a healthy, happy life is at the root of its work. The YMCA believes every child is of promise and that the Saratoga region can be the healthiest place on earth, yet there are many serious issues that keep these beliefs from becoming a reality. As the Saratoga Regional YMCA continues to grow, so do these issues and the need for the YMCA’s presence in the community.
The Saratoga Regional YMCA is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.
