YMCA’s four core values are the cornerstone of our organization and are instilled in every program.  Walking into any Y facility or program site, you will see them proudly displayed and practiced.  We define them as: 

Caring: to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others, and to love others

Honesty: to tell the truth, to in such a way that you are worthy of trust, to have integrity; making sure your choices match your values.

Respect: to treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person including yourself. 

Responsibility: to do what is right, what you ought to do; to be accountable for your behavior and obligations.
