About the Racine YMCA

For over 130 years the Racine Family YMCA has provided quality programs and services for area youth, adults, and families, responding with appropriate programs to meet the needs of residents regardless of their ability to pay. The "Y" is synonymous with outstanding recreation facilities, but it is far more than that. It offers unique programs to ensure the strength of youth and families in our community.

Today's Racine Family YMCA is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities, and is positioned better than ever before to positively affect the lives of community youth and families.

YMCA Values

The YMCA is committed to developing strong character in individuals through activities that promote its four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Caring
To love others, to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others.

Honesty
To tell the truth, to act in such a way that you are worthy of trust, to have integrity; making sure your choices match your values.

Respect
To treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person, including yourself.

Responsibility
To do what is right, what you ought to do; to be accountable for your behavior and obligations. 

YMCA Mission

The mission of the Racine Family YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Everyone is Welcome

The YMCA is a membership organization open to all people. We welcome women and men, girls and boys of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities and financial circumstances.  The YMCA's programs embrace diversity, reflecting the needs and composition of the community and provided resources are available, no one will be turned away for an inability to pay.
