Mission Statement

The YMCA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

The Y's Role in Your Community

The YMCA of Northern Colorado & Southern Wyoming has served the northern Front Range of Colorado and Wyoming for more than century, providing a welcoming place to learn new skills, connect with others and access support in times of need. Our broad range of programs and unique combination of services allows us to provide for the well-being of people of all ages and walks of life.

Our commitments reflect our core values: caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and inclusion. These values are woven into our work, our programs, our business practices. They guide and fuel us.

Each and every day, we make positive impacts in the lives of families, children, adults and seniors in Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, Loveland, Berthoud, Johnstown, Cheyenne and beyond. Learn how YMCA programs, financial assistance and resources uplift our neighbors, combat isolation and nurture young minds.
