Programs and services are the tools that the
YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne uses everyday to
achieve their mission of putting Christian principles
into practice through programs that build healthy
spirit, mind and body for all. Founded in 1858, the
YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne began with the focus of
improving the quality of life for all in our community
and that rings true today. In 2008, the YMCA served
approximately 62,709 members and 21,407 program
participants. 9,086 of those individuals received

dollars help children,
families and individuals who
otherwise would not be able
to participate in YMCA
programs.
