Mission & Values
The YMCA Community Action Project, or Y-CAP, is a YMCA center dedicated to serving at-risk youth in
Y-CAP programs are guided by the YMCA’s core character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. At-risk children who come to Y-CAP are held accountable for their actions. In return, they receive a long-term commitment from caring staff members and volunteers dedicated to helping them learn from their past mistakes and supporting them as they learn to grow in spirit, mind and body.
Y-CAP was founded in 1986, and became its own center in 1992 on the belief that the real solutions to the problems facing at-risk youth can only come through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Lives are changed, hearts are healed and families are restored only when kids and families come to discover God’s love and plan for their lives.
