– OUR MISSION –
To be a community cornerstone that puts Christian principles
into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, body and mind for all.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Y IT MATTERS
As a community, we can do more to improve everyone’s quality of life. Our Y works everyday to deliver programming that addresses critical community needs including evidence-based health programs, childcare and swim lessons. Donations to our YMCA ensures our programs are accessible and affordable for everyone. Last year, our YMCA served over 17,000 individuals.
EVERY CHILD DESERVES A
PLACE TO DREAM
The Summerville Family YMCA “A Place To Dream” project provides children who are sleeping on floors, in crowded beds or on air mattresses a bed of their own. We believe providing children the opportunity to sleep in their own bed will create positive outcomes including the ability to concentrate better in school which leads to better academic performance and eventually greater opportunities in life.
