Our Mission

We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our community partners and neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Together, with over 2,600 Ys across the country we are committed to youth development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. The mission of the Kokomo Family YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for ALL.
