Mission Statement and Core Values
The mission of the YMCA is,“To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” Character development is the YMCA’s “mission in action!” Our YMCA teaches, models, and implements the four character traits of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility in all facets of daily life. By emphasizing character development in all of our programs, we challenge youth and adults to accept and demonstrate positive values. We are helping adults become more effective parents and also building the leaders of tomorrow. The Kosciusko Community YMCA is a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization. Donations to enhance and continue programs are welcome and tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Military Personnel
