Our Impact
Here For All
Together we’re creating spaces where all feel welcome, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
At the YMCA of Greater Montgomery, our mission is to strengthen the community by improving the lives of all — in spirit, mind, and body. Guided by our core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith, we work alongside individuals and families of every age, background, and experience to build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.
The YMCA of Greater Montgomery is an inclusive organization that welcomes everyone. We embrace all people regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race, or sexual orientation. We believe that in a diverse and growing world, we are stronger when we are inclusive — when our doors are open to all, and when everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
As our region continues to grow and evolve, we remain committed to celebrating the rich diversity of the communities we serve — from neighborhoods to towns across the River Region.
Employee Resource Groups
YMCA of Greater Montgomery Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are team member–led networks that foster connection, support, and professional growth. These groups bring together YMCA professionals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to share ideas, build community, and develop through mentorship, coaching, and networking opportunities.
Each ERG focuses on a shared identity, interest, or experience — such as gender, culture, faith, or lifestyle — creating a welcoming space where team members can bring their whole selves to work.

Make a Meaningful Impact by Giving Your Time and Talents to Strengthen Our Community
At the Y, we stand for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. And that’s why we believe that doing our part to make an impact in the lives of men, women, and children from all walks of life will only make our community stronger, happier, and more generous. We’d love to have you join a movement of volunteers investing their lives into giving back in different ways such as feeding the community, coaching a youth sports team, volunteering as a camp nurse, and more.
Global Relations & Community Engagement
Creating a Culture of Bridging and Belonging
The Y’s Global Relations & Community Engagement (GRACE) efforts help ensure all people are respected, feel welcome and can find a community where they can thrive. With 17 locations in the River Region and Wiregrass areas, the YMCA of Greater Montgomery is positioned to address the unique needs of our region.
What We Believe
Open For All
We help ensure all people feel welcome and valued as part of the Y family.
Changing Communities
As neighborhoods become more diverse, it is important that we, with great intentionality, understand who is in our communities and how best to serve their interests and needs.
Strengthen Community
It’s critical to both our mission and our business that Y’s develop and integrate strategies to effectively engage, advocate and serve all.
