Main Programmes

YMCA helps people develop values and behavior that are consistent with Christian principles. They are for people of all ages, abilities, races, religions, and incomes. The strength of YMCAs is in the people they bring together.

A volunteer board sets policy for its executive, who manages the operation with staff and volunteer leaders.

YMCA meet local community needs through organized activities called programs. YMCA program is intended to: build spirit, mind, and body: All YMCA programs address all three sides of the YMCA triangle. Health and fitness programs, which might be labeled as "physical", also improve mental acuity and morale, while arts programs, which might be seen as intellectual and spiritual, can improve health by offering participants a chance for self-expression and a community of caring friends. --offer a place to belong, people who care, and fun: Through participating in our programmes, young and old people alike are able to acquire different skills, greater awareness, improved social standards and development of personal resources of mind body and spirit.
