Our Mission
The Mission of the YMCA of Columbia-Willmette is to put the Christian principles of love, respect, honesty, responsibility, and service into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
Vision
Strong communities are inspired through family, fitness, faith, and fun.
Impact
We're a catalyst for transformational change, fostering relationships and building thriving, inclusive communities.
Our YMCA
In 2023, we provided opportunities for almost 60,000 people to experience personal growth, strengthen relationships and build better communities.
As we continue to grow, we become more than just a gym-we teach lifesaving skills in the water, good sportsmanship on and off the field, and ensure a brighter future for all.
We provided more than 430,000 meals to youth and families through our Food Security program, taught more than 13,800 kids new skills in Youth Sports, and provided more than 1,000,000 hours of childcare and learning support. Over 4,750 kids and teens participated in Day Camps and Camp Collins Overnight Camps, 5,500 youth and adults participated in swimming lessons and safety around water classes and 12 YMCA staff and volunteers received certified Chaplaincy training through our partnership with George Fox University.
