The past two years have brought change to the YMCA, both on a national and local level, which has refocused us on carrying out our mission in a fresh way.  After interviewing dozens of key stakeholders, we developed a strategic plan that positions us to respond to the specific needs in our community, powered by the new look and voice of the Y.  The Y is a cause-driven, charitable organization dedicated to making positive change through everything we do.  With a commitment to our three areas of focus: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, your Kingsport YMCA is here to serve you. 

 

Most citizens know we are in the process of building a new facility (YMCA Wellmont Center) and partnering with the City to operate the Kingsport Aquatic Center.  However, we offer more than programs and services, equipment, or a building. We give children and families an opportunity to get fit together.  We keep hundreds of children safe and prepare them for their future.  We give everyone a place to belong.

 

 

Foundational to the Healthy Kingsport initiative, active in the school systems, supporting all ages through group opportunities, and providing a welcoming place for all, your Y is dedicated to making lasting personal and social change.  Through the generosity of monetary donors in our community, we are able to provide financial assistance for any program or membership to the Y, ensuring accessibility for everybody.

 

Today is a new day, with many opportunities to jump on board with the Y and make this an even better place to live.  We continue to need volunteers, mentors, and contributors to keep our important movement going, so join in with us today!
