We want everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, to connect to their potential, purpose and each other.
As a leading charitable and social service organization in Alabama and Mississippi, YMCAs in each alliance are committed to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living, and civic engagement. Stronger communities are possible when we collaborate and invest in our children, our health, and our neighbors.
The Y makes a difference in all of the communities it serves. When we speak with one voice, we can move individuals, communities and our states forward. Together the YMCAs in Alabama and Mississippi are creating healthy and positive states for future generations.
Every year, over 4,000 volunteers and staff members will actively go into the community during our Annual Support Campaign to raise the dollars needed to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, faith, ability level, income or background has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
Financial assistance funded by Annual Campaign donations keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most and provides programs that are responding to pressing community needs. 100% of all donations go directly toward providing life-changing experiences that will have a meaningful, enduring impact right in our community.
Because our mission is to serve ALL people, financial assistance is made available to any individual or family who wants to participate in a YMCA program or activity, but cannot afford the fee. Annual Support Campaign helps our Y live its mission every day.
