YMCA of Southeast Texas

Youth development our Ymca is committed to nuturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help Young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our Ymca programs, such as aftershcool child care, summer day camp, y-reads, and fine art programming, offer a range of expereinces that enrich cognitive, social physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for more than a third of the Young people we engage.

Social responsiblity our Ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 120 years. Y programs, such as achieve, youth in government, and volunteerism are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps, and overcome obstacles. In 2021, we engaged over 19,000 Ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.

Healthy living the y is a leadiing voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to acheive greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels.
