The YMCA of Arlington mission is
to put Christian principles into practice through programs
that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We focus on five character values in everything we do: caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.
The first YMCA of Arlington officially opened its doors in temporary offices on October 1, 1958 after a $400,000 fundraising campaign led by then-Mayor Tom Vandergriff. During its 52 years, we have grown to three branches and is the city's largest provider of child care for school-age children.

Report
•
The YMCA of Arlington is the largest provider of childcare for school-age kids in our area, serving more than 1,200
kids a day in safe, affordable before- and after-school programs at 20 school sites in Arlington and Mansfield as well as
six summer camps.
• Almost 1,000 kids and their dads participate in our Father/Child program with activities for a lifetime of memories.
• Our Strong
Community Campaign has raised over $400,000 with great effort from volunteers and staff. All of the proceeds
from this annual campaign goes directly into the Financial Aid fund to ensure no one is turned away from YMCA
membership and programs based on inability to pay.
Please give today! Your donation can make a difference.
• More than 3,800 children have learned water safety and how to swim in YMCA swim lessons. Additionally, with
backyard pool lessons and aquatics programs, more children than ever before have the opportunity to learn how to swim
and be safe in the water.
• Our Teen Programs continue to grow in Teen Leadership Council, with over 100 teens coming together to meet
twice a month, plan local service projects, field trips and overnight trips. Our teens have traveled to New Orleans to assist
in rebuilding efforts in the Upper Ninth Ward, served missions in New York City, and locally at Mission Arlington, Meals on
Wheels, Tarrant County Food Bank, and more!
At the YMCA of
Arlington we are for youth development, for healthy living,
and for social responsibility.
