WE ARE FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND OFFER PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, STRONG VALUES, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY-BUILDING, AND INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS. OUR Y MAKES THE COMMITMENT THAT ALL CAN PARTICIPATE, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY, AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY SUBSIDY SO LOW-INCOME CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS COULD PARTICIPATE IN Y PROGRAMMING, MEMBERSHIP AND CHILD CARE. THE MISSOULA FAMILY YMCA IS FOUNDED AND LED BY VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY; VOLUNTEERS ALSO SERVE AS MENTORS, COACHES, PROGRAM LEADERS, INSTRUCTORS AND MORE.
