Character Development

Service to the community and to others provides youth members a way to learn more about the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility and act on them. Because the Civic Metric directs them toward service that interests and inspires them, young people will be more motivated and likely to believe in and to act on positive values and behave accordingly.
