At the YMCA, communities come first. As a community not-for-profit organisation with a rich history our mission is clear: we ... provide opportunities for all people to grow in body, mind and spirit. We believe in the benefits of physical activity, empowering young people and building community connections. This commitment is what we have been about since we first opened our doors in Darwin in the early 1970’s, and we’re proud to continue to help Territorians lead healthier and happier lives. Over 130 staff and volunteers work at 10 locations in the areas of health and fitness, swimming, childcare, recreation parks, accommodation, community programs and youth services, delivering accessible programs so that more people have the opportunity to get active and involved. We continue to work with government, corporate and community partners who are also committed to enrich the lives of all Territorians, in body, mind and spirit. Because we believe that health and happiness should be within everyone’s reach, regardless of circumstance, we ask for the support of sponsors and donors to ensure we can continue to help those less fortunate. Our mission statement is: Enriching lives together in body, mind and spirit. All we do is based upon our key values: Honesty, Respect, Care and Responsibility. read more
