Our 2030 Strategic Plan is built around three simple, but powerful outcomes.
These outcomes are the true measure of success, showing whether our programs, partnerships and investments are creating lasting impact. When taken together, they paint a bigger picture: from childhood through every stage of life, the Y is here to strengthen people and communities.
That’s what it means to say:
To get there, our Vision 2030 plan is guided by six strategic priorities:

2030 Target: Expand programs that help children and teens grow as individuals and emphasize social-emotional learning, academic success, wellness, community service, fellowship and civic engagement.
Community Health & Well-being
Positively impact social determinants of health in our service area.
2030 Target: The YMCA will strengthen community health by expanding staff training and partnering with local organizations to better meet diverse wellness and mental health needs.
