Our mission compels us to ensure all segments of our community are welcome and have the same opportunities to participate and engage with other members, staff and volunteers. Throughout the U.S., as neighborhoods change, households evolve and demographics shift, it is essential that all Y’s develop and pursue global strategies and diversity and inclusion practices that help them connect, advocate for and strengthen the communities they serve. The YMCA of Central Massachusetts has developed specific strategies to ensure that we are reaching these objectives.

We have identified the following areas that will be our focus during the months and years ahead.

• Organizational Commitment
• Membership
• Leadership/Staff Development
• Program Innovation and Branding Visibility
• Strategic Relationships
• Resource Mobilization
