Mission

The ymca's cause is to strengthen community for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The young men's christian association of eastern union county d/b/a the gateway family ymca promotes the physical, mental, social and spiritual growth of men, women and children in the surrounding communities. Using a holistic approach to improving the quality of life, we strive to include the entire community in the programs and services provided. An individual's financial resources do not effect one's ability to participate in what the ymca has to offer. In 2017, the ymca provided $635,890 in financial assistance and program subsidies in support of our members and program participants.
