About the Central Community Branch

Our Mission

The YMCA of Central Massachusetts is an association united in a common goal to strengthen our communities and to develop the spirit, mind and body of all persons, regardless of means, through activities guided by and based upon our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility

Our Cause

We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause.

Our Impact

Every day our impact is felt when a teen makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when our community comes together for the common good.

Our Areas of Focus

We strengthen the foundations of our community through:

Youth Development...nurturing the potential in every child.

Healthy Living...improving the nation’s health and well-being.

Social Responsibility...giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

The YMCA of Central Massachusetts appreciates and supports the dignity and

worth of all members of our community. We will nurture an environment that reflects,

respects and celebrates our differences and embraces the richness of our diversity.
