Our Mission To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. A mission of service. For over 130 years, the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region has been working to put Christian principles into practice through programs. We're not a gym, or a health club, or a day care center, but rather a deeply rooted, not-for-profit community service organization with a long history of success in working for the greater good. A sense of belonging. Everyone needs a place to belong. A haven where judgement is left at the door. At the YMCA, openness and acceptance abound in an atmosphere of friendship and belonging. It's where teamwork is valued, relationships are nurtured and the uniqueness of the individual is celebrated. A feeling of trust. Where can you go? Whom can you trust? How can you be sure? For millions of people all around the globe, the answer is the Y. A safe place where parents can feel secure their children will be watched over. A unique environment where trust, love and compassion flourish. A celebration of diversity. At the Y, everyone is welcome. Regardless of where you were born, what you believe in, or how high or low you are on the economic scale. It is a place where people are just that—people. A celebration of the individuality that makes us who we are Vision 2020 The YMCA is the leader in improving the quality of life and nurturing lifelong development of healthier individuals, families and community.

Here are a few of the things the YMCA pioneered, invented, or helped create: Basketball and Volleyball Public Libraries English (ESL) Classes Job Training The USO Boy Scouts of America Indian Guides Swimming & Lifeguarding Classes Camp Programs Night School Toastmasters Low-Cost Housing Peace Corps Camp Fire Girls Negro Baseball League Father's Day YMCA Organizes First Library in Colorado Springs The first project of the volunteer organizers of the Colorado Springs YMCA in 1878 was to create a public library and reading room-- nearly three decades before the first city library. The first president of the new YMCA was Mrs. S.G. "Auntie" Cleveland. It was considered noteworthy at the time that women were given the right to vote in YMCA decision making... 42 years before the 19th Amendment. The early YMCA sought "to do good, as we have the opportunity, as far as our influence may extend." Early 1900s — "The Taxpayers Best Friend" At the dedication of the new Colorado Springs YMCA building in 1901, Teddy Roosevelt said the YMCA "promotes industry, temperance, and self-reliance...It is a taxpayers best friend. It gives better government at less cost, and that is the ultimate of political aspirations." By the early 1900s, the YMCA was offering night school for "working youth" who would probably be considered at risk today. Before the days of homeless shelters, the local YMCA offered low cost residence rooms. Exercise classes were held to the accompaniment of a piano. Teens having trouble at home could find counseling. YMCA clubs provided positive activities ranging from photography to sports. Growing with the Pikes Peak Region Over the last 130 years, the YMCA has grown to include branch locations throughout the Pikes Peak Region and offsite locations at schools and neighborhood centers to reach over 125,000 people each year. Through partnerships and community involvement the YMCA is reaching out in new ways to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region Address
