Our choice of strategy is built upon meeting the needs of the community. We know that the YMCA is unique in that it serves people at every age, and through every stage, of life. With four foundational questions guiding our work, we set out to discover how we can:
• supporting people’s mental health in service to them being happy and healthy
• ensuring people build social connections, and decrease feelings of isolation,
• increase levels of physical activity at all ages, and
• provide numerous ways people can increase their health outcomes.
