Y Programs  

Our Areas of Focus

The Ligonier Valley YMCA works daily to meet the needs of our community. In late 2010, we, with other YMCAs across the country, began a long project of rebranding an already household name, the YMCA. With our re-branding came a new logo, a new way of thinking about what we do, and renewed focus on what matters most our community. The Ligonier Valley YMCA welcomed the opportunity to rebrand our YMCA and boldly accepted the mission of strengthening the foundation of community. We are doing this in three distinct categories. We are investing in Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. To ensure we are meeting our mission, we ask ourselves everyday how our actions will positively affect our ability to achieve these three core areas of focus. Our answer lies in the programs and practices that we continue to engage in, as individuals and as an organization. 

 




Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is investing daily in opportunities for all walks of life. Whether it is working out in our state of the art fitness center, partaking in a group fitness class like spinning or body pump, or challenging yourself to learn a new life lesson like flyfishing, rock climbing or more. We care about the health and well-being of our community and continue to invest in programs and projects that positively effect change in our community members.. At the Y, it’s not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside. (Programs designed for Healthy Living)



Ligonier Valley YMCA  believes that the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. Because of our Y, more young people are taking a greater interest in learning and making smarter life choices. Our programs are designed to nurture every child’s potential and invest in the core values of the YMCA. Looking at our list of opportunities for kids you will find that every child will get an opportunity and our instructors will embody the core values of respect, honesty, caring, and responsibility. Children are should be nurtured and engaged and we believe that this will help make them vibrant and productive adults. (Youth Development Programs )



At the Y, we turn no one away. Regardless of your age, income, or ability our doors are always open. In our community we seek to support activities that allow the community to come together as one. We know that when we work as one, we move people and communities forward. That's why we are committed to providing support to our neighbors and opportunities for kids, adults and families to give, join in or advocate in the name of stronger communities.

Opportunities for All

We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable. At the Y, we measure the success of our cause by how well we engage communities in our three areas of focus.  The Y is for everyone. Our programs, services and initiatives: enable kids to realize their potential, prepare teens for college, offer ways for families to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind and body, prepare people for employment, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster a nationwide service ethic. And that's just the beginning.
