The YMCA of Columbia-Willamette is a mission-focused charitable nonprofit. Our mission is to put the Christian principles of love, respect, honesty, responsibility and service into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The mission guides us in all of the work we do.

Together we build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
Your donation to the YMCA helps build strong, loving communities that create a sense of home and of belonging. Your help ensures that children, families and adults of all ages participate in life-changing YMCA experiences, because no one should be left out. We stay true to our purpose and mission to fulfill our commitment to our local communities, adapting to meet the unique needs of each community we serve. Together, our ability and capacity to carry out our mission will grow stronger.

You Are What You Do
The children, families and older adults accessing YMCA services come from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We provide access to services for all – regardless of background or ability to pay, through scholarships and reduced fees. You grow our capacity to serve, because when we work together we achieve much more than we ever could alone.

You are Y.
All of this is possible because of the tremendous commitment and dedication of our donors, volunteers, members and staff. Thank you for considering a donation to help build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Today more families face barriers to access. Your gift can help break down those barriers. We are responsible for ourselves and for each other. Help us to deliver on our unique promise to provide services to all.
