OUR MISSION

Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

OUR CAUSE

The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living, and for social responsibility. That's because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors.

The Y is community centered. For more than 168 years, we've been listening and responding to our communities.

The Y brings people together. We connect people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs.

The Y nurtures potential. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The Y has a local presence and global reach. We mobilize local communities to effect lasting, meaningful change.

The YMCA of Greater New Orleans is now present across the region, providing services, programs, and support to help our community succeed. By nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the city's health and well-being, and supporting and serving our neighbors, the Y ensures that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure.
