Mission Statement

The Y is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening the community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose, and each other. Working locally, we focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being, and inspiring action in and across communities. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, perspectives, and generations, we ensure that we all have access to the opportunities, relationships, and resources necessary to learn, grow, and thrive. Join a community of individuals who want to give back and support their neighbors. Every hour you contribute provides children and adults the support they need to be healthy, confident, connected, and secure.

Description

For Community

Lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our Strength is our Community

• The Y is a nonprofit like no other. We have the presence and partnerships to promise, and deliver, positive change.
• Community Centered: For over 125 years, we’ve been listening and responding to our Pierce and Kitsap County communities.
• Bringing People Together: We touch the lives of over 100,000 people each year, connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.
• Nurturing Potential: We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, which is why we provide $3.5 million in financial assistance annually to support 1 in 3 Child Care youth, 1 in 5 Camp Seymour participants and 1 in 7 facility members.
• Local Presence and Global Reach: We mobilize our local communities to effect lasting, meaningful change.
