YMCA OF METROPOLITAN MILWAUKEE

The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee strengthens the foundations of our community by “Putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.”

Our Vision

The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee’s vision is “to become recognized as a leading community collaborator that achieves bold results in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, with an emphasis on youth, families, and aging adults.” Our impact in Milwaukee is widespread, from teaching thousands of kids to swim each year, to being one of the only safe spaces open seven days a week in the neighborhoods we serve.

We also believe that lasting personal and social change happens in the places where our members live, work, and play. That’s why in addition to our center-based programming, we are committed to being vocal advocates for healthy families and partnering with others to improve the greater good in Milwaukee beyond our four walls.

We work out to get healthier and stronger while our children play and learn in Child Watch. It’s great to be part of an organization that’s making a positive difference for our family and neighbors in Milwaukee. The Y is our community!
