The YMCA Difference
The YMCA isn't just a place, it's a spirit that offers something for everyone regardless of background, circumstances or abilities.

The mission of the YMCA lives through membership. Members discover connection, belonging and the comfort of community. The YMCA's unique approach to membership is inclusive and welcomes all people. We recognize that there are many ways to be in need -- spiritually, physically, emotionally -- and the need for community transcends all incomes, races, cultures, religions and abilities. No one is turned away.

Everything the YMCA wants to accomplish and hopes to do for its constituents begins with and relies upon the quality of human interaction and relationship-building that we call membership.

YMCAs reflect the mission (programs for all), objectives (appreciating diversity and accepting individual differences) and character (caring, honesty, respect and responsibility) of the movement in an ever-changing world. This is extremely vital in a society where nearly everything is viewed as a commodity. It is caring service and involvement that moves the YMCA from a commodity exchange to a relationship-building organization.

The YMCA promotes involving members as connected and committed people who are encouraged to grow spiritually, physically and mentally. This very ability to create an involved, caring community, a positive neighborhood and family environment, is the real evidence of a membership - and mission-driven YMCA. When these two come together, the power of mission through membership has the capacity to become a beacon of hope and pride in the communities YMCAs serve.

At the YMCA of Greater Omaha, we have a vision to connect people, and connect with our community. We aim to foster an inclusive society that welcomes everyone – regardless of background, circumstances, or abilities.
