About Us

The YMCA mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

When we talk about our “core” at the YMCA, we discuss more than the strength of muscles. We talk about our mission and the values that we are built upon. For more than 150 years, the YMCA has been working to carry out our mission and vision while sharing our core values of caring, respect, honesty and responsibility.

Our downtown Salem facility is a comfortable place for a diverse mix of people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and fitness levels. The Salem YMCA serves over 5,000 members annually, plus hundreds more who attend YMCA camps, Child Development services, or enroll in lessons or programs outside of membership. In addition, the Salem Family YMCA serves as the headquarters for YMCAs in Marion & Polk Counties. Branch locations in Silverton, Stayton, and Monmouth-Independence, expand the delivery of the YMCA mission to the two-county area.

As a charitable organization, your YMCA gives directly to the community. Each year, your YMCA directly impacts the lives of thousands of residents by:

  • Giving nearly $500,000 in scholarships to men, women, and children to ensure access to programs and membership to those in need
  • Teaching over 2,500 children to swim
  • Providing summer camp experiences to over 2,500 children

Read on to learn about the impact of the YMCA’s programs, and our dedicated volunteers and staff who make them a reality.
