WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION, VALUES & VISION
For over 130 years, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee has
been guided by its Christian mission and values to strengthen
the foundations of our community and nurture the potential of
the men, women and children who call the greater-Nashville area home. As a leading
nonprofit dedicated to meeting community needs, we engage people
across 12 counties, giving more than 329,000 of our neighbors—nearly
half of them kids—the chance to learn, grow and thrive.
OUR MISSION
A worldwide charitable fellowship united by a common loyalty to
Jesus Christ for the purpose of helping people grow in spirit,
mind and body.
Our Values
In all that we do, our YMCA is guided by these core character
values: Caring, Honesty, Respect & Responsibility.
Our Vision
To offer Hope for Life to people of all ages, faiths, races, backgrounds
and abilities, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances. Through
a range of relationship-focused, impactful programs, services, partnerships
and collaborations, we will offer hope throughout Middle Tennessee and southern
Kentucky by Inspiring Youth, Improving Health, Serving Others and Creating Community.
