Because of the developing partnership between Cook County, ISD166 and the Duluth Area Family YMCA, there is growing interest in learning more about the Y! For starters, let me share some basic information straight out of the YMCA Program and Services Guide!
YMCA MISSION
The Duluth YMCA is dedicated to putting the principles of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all!
YMCA AREAS OF FOCUS
The YMCA is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That's because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.
HEALTHY LIVING
Improving the nation's health and well-being.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.
DULUTH AREA FAMILY YMCA
Go to http://www.duluthymca.org/ for more information about the Duluth Area Family YMCA. The information at this site is similar to what is currently being planned for the Cook County Family YMCA. However, there will be differences to meet the specific needs of Cook County residents and members. A local board will be formed to direct and serve the Cook County Family YMCA.
