Mission

The mission of the YMCA of the North is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The YMCA is a leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The YMCA of the North was formed in 2011 as an integration of the YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis and the YMCA of Greater Saint Paul, uniting the strengths of two major and financially strong nonprofits that have been serving the Twin Cities communities for more than 169 years. The YMCA seeks to be the leader in experiences that foster wellbeing for people and communities. By nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving health and wellbeing, and supporting and serving our neighbors, the YMCA ensures that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure.
