YMCA of Greater Cincinnati

This year, more than 126,000 people - over one third of them kids - will come to the Y to learn, grow, and thrive. As a diverse organization of men, women, and children, our programs are always based on the needs and interests of our communities. The Y’s focus is to strengthen our communities and we are committed to nurturing the potential in kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility in all that we do. By offering affordable child care to families, by developing sports and aquatics programs that positively engage youth, by helping adults live healthier lifestyles, and through a variety of other programs that promote a healthy spirit, mind, and body. People of all ages and walks of life come to one of our 16 branches because they know that we are here for them, as we have been for over 155 years. 

At the Y, our core values are not just a way of thinking-they are an integral part of who we are. They are the essential principles that unite us, guide our behavior, our decisions and our interactions with one another. Every day, we show genuine concern for others and are sincere in what we say and do. We treat everyone as we would like to be treated. And we are always accountable for our promises and our actions. As long as we stay true to ourselves and true to others, we cannot help but accomplish great things.
