MISSION STATEMENT FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 YMCA BUFFALO NIAGARA IS AN INCLUSIVE ASSOCIATION OF PEOPLE COMMITTED TO A COMMON EFFORT TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES REACH THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL IN TERMS OF SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY. YMCA BUFFALO NIAGARA ACCOMPLISHES THIS MISSION THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. THESE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES INCLUDE HEALTH ENHANCEMENT, AQUATICS, SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE, SUMMER DAY CAMP, RESIDENT CAMPING, YOUTH & TEEN DEVELOPMENT, PRESCHOOL EDUCATION, RESIDENCE, SENIOR SERVICES AND OTHERS. INTEGRATED INTO THE FABRIC OF THESE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE THE FOUR CORE VALUES OF THE YMCA: CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY. THESE VALUES FORM THE MAIN COMPONENT OF YMCA CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ALL YMCA PROGRAMMING. VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE YMCA. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1852, VOLUNTEERS HAVE ADVANCED THE MISSION OF YMCA BUFFALO NIAGARA THROUGH FUND RAISING, SERVICE DELIVERY AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF POLICIES THAT GOVERN THE ORGANIZATION. IN 2010, 185 POLICY VOLUNTEERS SERVED ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND EIGHT BRANCH BOARDS OF MANAGEMENT, PROVIDING GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP TO THE ASSOCIATION.
