About the YMCA of Saginaw

Since June 25, 1868, the Saginaw Family YMCA has been a cornerstone of health, wellness, and community in Saginaw County. As a non-profit, membership-based organization, we have proudly dedicated over 150 years to enriching the lives of local residents by fostering healthier bodies, minds, and spirits. Our commitment to the community continues to drive us forward as we look to another century of service and impact.

Our Mission

The YMCA of Saginaw is an inclusive association of all people, united in a shared effort to put Judeo-Christian principles into action. Through programs and services that nurture the spirit, mind, and body, we aim to create a space where everyone belongs and can thrive.

Our Core Values

At the Y, our work is guided by four core values that shape everything we do:

Honesty – Always be truthful in words and actions.
Respect – Treat others as you wish to be treated.
Caring – Kindness and compassion are investments that never fail.
Responsibility – Lead by taking action rather than waiting for change.

What We Believe

Every person deserves the opportunity to achieve a healthy spirit, mind, and body.
The worth and dignity of all people should be recognized and celebrated.
Understanding and collaboration across diverse groups strengthen our community.
It is our responsibility as staff and volunteers to help every member reach their potential.

Access for All

True to our mission, we are committed to ensuring that no one is turned away due to financial barriers. Through available funding and financial assistance programs, the YMCA of Saginaw strives to make memberships, programs, and services accessible to all individuals and families in need.

Join us as we continue building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Saginaw community. Together, we can achieve great things!
