Information

The current National YMCA Strategic Plan is driven by seven key themes.
The YMCA is working to include these themes in all our activities.
The themes are:
1. Children and youth
2. Family
3. Community

These translates into the vision statement that "We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities"

4. Values.
Fostering the Nationally adopted four core YMCA values:
i. Caring
ii. Respect
iii. Honesty
iv. Responsibility

5. Personal development: Fostering holistic personal development (body, mind, and spirit).

6. Empowerment: Helping people see they can take control over their own lives and make a difference.

7. Social Responsibility: Encouraging the YMCA to be an organisation that responds to social issues and concerns, and fosters social justice.
