As a charitable organization, our mission is to strengthen the foundation of the community through programs, services and relationships that build a healthy spirit, mind and body. Over 80 years ago, the Wallingford Family YMCA opened its doors to welcome our community in its collective pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. Day after day, year after year, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering lasting personal and social change to every individual, regardless of ability. Pursuits develop and needs evolve, yet our responsibility to bring together and strengthen our community has endured with clarity and purpose. Our Y has been a cornerstone of the community since 1944. We have woven the story of how individuals and families learned to swim, prepared for school through early childcare programs, were safe and nurtured through before & after school programs, adopted healthy habits and rehabilitated from the discomfort of chronic disease. With two locations in Wallingford, it is a hub of wellness where over 12,000 people come through the doors every year to connect with their "Y Family" in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle and come together to collectively strengthen mind, body & spirit. Our core values drive everything our staff & volunteers do to live out our mission and make a meaningful and long lasting impact in our greater Wallingford community: Caring - We demonstrate sincere concern for others, their needs and well-being Honesty - We tell the truth and demonstrate reliability & trustworthiness Respect - We treat others as we would want to be treated and value the worth of every person Responsibility: We do what is right and are accountable for our choices & actions By holding ourselves accountable to build character around our core values, we build healthy spirit, mind and body FOR ALL.
