Mission Statement
To strengthen our community and build healthy spirit, mind and body for all by putting Christian principles into practice.
Description
Over 130 years ago, a small group of people changed the lives of thousands of families in Columbia County. The Berwick Area YMCA was born in 1883 out of a commitment by local neighbors to better our community. Today, that commitment to community remains at the forefront of all we stand for and do. One hundred and thirty years after our founding, we continue to embrace and nurture the promise that lies in all of us. The Y is more than a gym or a pool, more than aerobics classes, summer camp or even child care. We are a non-profit organization helping to anchor the very foundation of our community and change lives in profound ways each day we open our doors. We give children, families and the most volunerable members of our community the support and resources they need to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure.
