“The ymca of tyler was a charitable, community service organization that includes men, women, and children of all ages, incomes, races, and religions that is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by putting christian principles into use. Operations of the organization ceased in 2017.”

“Health & wellness for youth and adults: helping people of all ages and abilities develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the ymca movement. Our programs are designed to help people create realistic goals for self-improvement and emphasize disease prevention through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and health education. Sports programs for youth, families and adults promote teamwork, interaction and development of social and physical skills. Our services are offered at affordable fees for the community at large, with reasonable accommodations for those with special needs and with financial assistance available for those who cannot afford the full fee. In the light of the rising obesity rates in the country, our ymca participates in the activate america initiative and engages in a variety of events and community activities designed to help the "at risk population" develop habits and relationships that lead to more active lifestyles. Child care: our ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for school age children drawing on diverse members of the community. We provide after school and summer child care to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs. Youth development programs: ymca youth programs give kids good role models to help them develop self-esteem and good values, including cooperation, respect and good citizenship. The ymca camping program provides a lasting experience of personal enrichment. Day camp offers adventure and learning activities that provide a challenge and promote spiritual awareness, mental development, physical well being, social growth and self respect. Camping helps youth become aware of their physical and mental capabilities, to recognize the value of cooperation, and to gain confidence. Financial assistance is available so a young person's economic circumstances are not a barrier to participation.”
