At the YMCA of Delaware, our mission is to bring people together and unleash the potential within every individual. Our staff, volunteers, donors, and members form a powerful community dedicated to strengthening and uplifting others.

Guided by our core values, we create safe, inclusive spaces where everyone feels supported and empowered to be their best selves. By fostering meaningful connections, we help bridge differences and build stronger communities, united by the belief that everyone matters.

Together, the Y community is strong because we stand for love, not hate. For unity, not division. For lifting each other up, creating opportunities, and shaping a future where everyone has the chance to thrive.

To fulfill our commitment to being FOR ALL, we focus on:

• Equipping staff and volunteers to create welcoming, inclusive environments.
• Building a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
• Partnering with organizations to meet the unique needs of our members.
• Celebrating culture and fostering empathy to build understanding.
• Ensuring financial support so no one is turned away.

When we do this well, we don’t just serve individuals—we transform lives. We don’t just build programs—we strengthen communities. We don’t just talk about change—we create it. Because when we come together with purpose, we don’t just imagine a better world—we build it.
