Our Mission: The YMCA of Rowan County is a community service organization which promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body, welcoming all people, with a focus on youth. While our state-of-the art facilities are a big part of the YMCA, they are merely tools that our staff uses to fulfill our mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Our Values: All YMCA programs teach the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith and continue our 56-year tradition of emphasis upon youth, health and wellness, adult education, and community collaboration and problem solving. The YMCA has always grown from within its community and is a reflection of the community itself in diversity and values. The YMCA is an open and inclusive organization and welcomes all without discrimination to race, ethnicity, color, national origin, citizenship, creed, religion, age, abilities, sexual orientation or income.
A Focus On Youth: The YMCA of Rowan County gives young people a place to come after school for safe, productive activities that encourage and support academic performance, help to build their self-esteem and develop healthy lifestyles. Among the hundreds of programs offered by the YMCA of Rowan County are a variety of youth programs, including before & after-school care programs; swimming, sports leagues; instructional classes; evening Teen Centers; counseling and health awareness; life/social skills; mentoring; leadership training and development; service learning; summer day camps and sleepins.
Open To All: At the YMCA, no one is turned away because of an inability to pay. To offer the broadest possible access for those individuals and community groups who may not be able to afford our programs, services and facilities, the YMCA engages in fundraising through the annual Invest In Youth Campaign, grants, bequests, or individual, corporate or foundation support.
The YMCA of Rowan County “Invest In Youth” program provides scholarships for those children and their families who could not otherwise afford to participate in YMCA programs and membership activities. Your support of the YMCA’s “Invest In Youth” program will assure that the YMCA continues to serve as a positive influence on Rowan County’s youth. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to call me directly at 704-216-9622 or you may e-mail me at jmorgan@rowanymca.org
Thank you for helping the YMCA build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
Sincerely,
Jamie E Morgan
