YMCA of Western North Carolina

The YMCA of Western North Carolina is committed to strengthening the foundations of community through programming that supports youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Our programs nurture the greatness in every child, promote well-being throughout the community, and provide critical health services to our neighbors in need. Our mission, to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all, guides us in all we do and compels us to embrace, reflect, and celebrate the richness of diversity within each other and our community. We are an open and affirming association respectful of all people, and we invite, welcome and involve everyone to work side by side with us to further our cause.
