Who We Are

Our Mission

As a charitable organization, the University YMCA develops campus and community leaders committed to social justice, environmental protection, interfaith cooperation and global engagement by fostering dialogue, reflection and action.

Our pillars

Five commitments guide our programs, our student organizations and the partners we bring together.

Social Justice

We respond to our community’s most pressing needs with innovative, community-based solutions that help everyone reach their full potential. Through dialogue, reflection and action, we work for meaningful social change.

Environmental Protection

We nurture tomorrow’s environmentally conscious leaders and work for clean, sustainable and healthy communities.

Interfaith Action

We offer a new way of seeing religious diversity. We bring together people who want to show that difference can be a strength when faith and action share a common purpose.

Global Engagement

We build and support vibrant communities that welcome and include people from around the world.
