The YMCA core values provide direction as parents guide children on their journey
The YMCA Core Values provide direction as parents guide children on each journey. Along the journey, adults should model, teach and demonstrate these values as well as give children many opportunities to practice and celebrate them. Initially, these four values provide guidance in helping children select activities, make decisions, and choose appropriate courses of action- both in the program and in their lives.
