What Young Mens Christian Association of Paris Bourbon County Inc does
Mission
The paris-bourbon county ymca is essentially a membership organization of people of all ages, faiths and abilities, all working side-by-side to ensure that everyone, regardless of gender, income or background, has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. Our mission is to put christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. We have three areas of focus: youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. At the root of our movement is our commitment to character development embodied in the y's core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility; everything we do stems from this. We have affordable membership and program rates for everyone, and we provide financial assistance to those who need it.
