Our Mission

At Decatur Family YMCA, our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

We are more than a gym. We are a cause. Rooted in community and guided by our core values—Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility—we work every day to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

From wellness classes to youth development, swim lessons to senior programs, the Y is a safe, welcoming space where you can belong. We believe lasting personal and social change comes about when we invest in our people and our neighborhoods.

Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier Decatur—one person at a time.
