The YMCA - Charity Guiding Principles
- The Medicine Hat Family YMCA is a charitable association which depends on philanthropy, membership fees and the efforts of volunteers to fulfill our mission.
- We believe that volunteers are essential partners in the development of people and advancing the work of the YMCA in the community. Volunteers govern the YMCA.
- YMCA activities offered are linked to our mission and historical background. The importance of YMCA activities and programs is measured in reference to our mission statement and our end objective of Building Strong Kids, Strong Families, and Strong Communities.
- We offer programs that are healthy, safe and fun for everyone. Programs are structured so each person builds confidence and self-esteem.
- We are affordable to the people we serve. We are open to all ages, a variety of disadvantaged, and all income levels. Sponsorship of those who cannot afford is the charitable benefit our YMCA provides to this community.
- Contribution from operations is reinvested to further programs or facilities.
- Health promotion and fitness are tax-exempt public services at the YMCA. An unhealthy population is a burden on society. Prevention is the ideal.
