About
YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge Youth Programs are part of a larger organization that focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The programs apply Christian principles, specifically the principle of love from I Corinthians 13:13, through holistic programming that includes youth and teen activities. The organization states that this love is extended to people of all races, genders, and belief systems.
The YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge has been listening and responding to critical social needs in communities for 160 years. Its mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The organization acknowledges that Christian principles are a significant part of its mission and has chosen love as the guiding principle for how it carries out that mission. Through the Y, 500,000 volunteers and thousands of donors, leaders, and partners across the country are involved in efforts that reach people in the U.S. and around the world. The organization describes its impact as being felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor interacts with a child, and when community members come together for a common purpose.
