Founded in 1858, the YMCA of Frederick County states that its purpose is to strengthen and enrich the development of individuals and families through quality programs and services that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, guided by the core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. The organization reports that it serves people of all backgrounds, ages, capabilities, and income levels, and that it provides financial assistance to those in need, using 100 percent of donor contributions to support financial assistance and mission programs. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, it reports serving more than 20,000 members and over 30,000 program participants each year, more than 230,000 people annually through its programs and services, and providing more than $9.5 million in financial assistance to more than 27,000 people, over 250 homeless youth with safe, stable housing, and 115,000 healthy meals to school-age youth.
The YMCA of Frederick County notes that it is one of the largest nonprofits in Frederick County and hosts the 50th annual YMCA of Frederick County Alvin G. Quinn Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The Y Sports Warehouse facility is described as fully air-conditioned and includes four indoor pickleball courts, an indoor multipurpose court for volleyball or futsal, a martial arts area, an EZone with egaming, a golf simulator, and virtual sports, as well as a party room for birthday parties. The organization lists features such as no joining fee, no long-term contract, member discounts on swim lessons, camp, and sports, Child Watch for members while they work out or take a class, a free Activ-Trax personalized wellness plan, free group fitness classes, and the possibility of financial assistance for individuals and families to join.
The YMCA of Frederick County describes itself as a non-profit organization that works with community partners to improve the lives of children, adults, families, and the community, and notes partnerships with several community organizations in Frederick County. One parent, Elise B., commends the YMCA’s efforts to keep a safe, clean, socially distanced gym and to prioritize staff and member health. Another parent, Christine S., states that she felt totally safe using the aquatics area, appreciated that only swimmers were in the locker rooms, and liked the reservation system for managing the number of swimmers. Jennifer B. reports feeling very safe going to the gym with sanitizing stations and workers cleaning machines and weights, and Miriam M. describes front desk staff as very helpful and patient in setting up the YMCA app on her cellphone after she lost her ID card.
