Belonging for All

The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is committed to creating welcoming environments in every community we serve. Guided by our core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith, we are called to recognize the inherent worth of every individual and to operate as an organization rooted in fairness, dignity, and mutual respect.

By understanding the many factors that shape each person’s lived experience, we commit to listening, learning, and taking action to address barriers and create meaningful opportunities at the individual, organizational, and community level. We hold ourselves accountable to building a future where everyone has access to the resources, support, and experiences needed to thrive.

The Y is FOR ALL—a place where trust is built, connections are formed, and healing happens. A place where character development, mental wellness, and community strength are foundational to everything we do. The Y is where everyone belongs.

The Y is for all. Learn how we create and celebrate belonging in our Vision 2030: Strategic Plan.
