YMCA membership The Y’s mission is our reason for being, and the Y’s cause is our mission in action—a promise to do everything in our power to inspire the common good and make life better for individuals, families, and communities. GROWING COMMUNITY draws motivation and direction from both. The successful implementation of the prior Strategic Plan strategies, performance metrics and goal achievement reflect the commitment of Board and Staff Leadership to achieve desired impact of the organization and proceed forward with new opportunities and pressing community needs and challenges. Local and national trends continue to be factors in defining how we will strengthen our capacity to serve our community and explore the opportunities to make it the best it can be. This is a “living” plan; we are committed to long-term impact, and we recognize the need to continuously adapt our strategies as our environment changes. https://oceancommunityymca.org/
