Mission Statement

Our mission is "to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all."
The YMCA is challenging people, especially children and teens, to accept and demonstrate positive values. The 5 core values of the YMCA of Greater Houston are emphasized in all programs: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Caring and Faith. Through our programs and the modeling of these values, the YMCA continues to meet the needs of our ever-changing community.

Belonging

Anyone can join the YMCA. The YMCA has always been a great fit for everyone and their family. Now, it's also a great fit for every budget. Because we believe a healthier lifestyle should be available to all, we're now offering Membership For All. Join the YMCA, and your monthly membership fee will be based on your annual household income.

Our membership types are based on household types; we have no contracts to sign, a 30-day money-back guarantee on your joining fee, a comprehensive corporate membership plan and an AWAY program, in which you can use your Houston YMCA membership at other participating YMCAs across the country. Joining the Y has never been easier!

Everyone belongs at the YMCA of Greater Houston. At the YMCA, we're more than just a place to work out. We're a place where you can be yourself. Whether you're just starting on the road to health and wellness, or you're a veteran, you'll feel comfortable at the YMCA. Visit and you will understand why so many people love it here. It's because we don't care what you look like when you come in. We just want you to feel great when you leave.

Open Doors Scholarship Program

The YMCA is community-based and believes that its programs and services should be available to everyone regardless of age, background, ability or income. That's why the YMCA offers an OPEN DOORS program, a sliding fee scale that is designed to fit your individual financial situation.

Our commitment to living our charitable mission each day keeps us strong and focused. Although grounded in our historical values, the YMCA continues to search for and collaborate on new solutions for our communities' changing needs. The YMCA remains committed to bringing our board, staff, friends, facility members and donors closer to our mission in all we do. Advancements in new programs and innovative solutions often come thanks to special donors of the YMCA. Many scholarships and program subsidies are a result of the essential support of individual donors, corporate entities and foundations.

Job Opportunities

Work with us! We seek people who are interested in people and want to make a difference. At the YMCA, we get the job done through professional staff members who are carefully selected for their interests, experiences and enthusiasm.

The YMCA is more than a job; it's a career! The Y has a wide-reaching system of training and development opportunities. With 150 years of experience, the YMCA knows that its mission is achieved one person at a time-carried out in the hearts and hands of each caring and skillful staff member.

A career with the YMCA will allow you to take home the smile you get from teaching children to tie their shoes or to do the breaststroke. You can feel pride in watching teens you have mentored and coached graduate from high school and achieve honors.

You can share in the excitement of an adult fitness member who has reached a new goal. You can take home all of what it means to make a difference in someone's life. Pick up an application at the Welcome Center. Group interviews are held every Monday at 6:00pm.
