Welcome toThe Family YMCA of Southeast Mississippi. We are a mission-driven YMCA devoted to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities by providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Character development is the basis of all YMCA programs, which are guided by five core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith. Throughout our YMCAs we strive to develop thesecharacter values in our members and ourselves.

You may have joined the YMCA to get in shape, shoot hoops with friends or enjoy recreational time with your family. However, by becoming a member of the YMCA you have joined a worldwide fellowship of people of many ages, genders, races and abilities dedicated not only to health, but also to uplifting the human spirit. It is this worldwide community spirit that makes membership in the YMCA unique and this spirit that binds us to our mission to serve all people.

One of our goals at the YMCA is not to exclude anyone because they cannot afford the fee. We offer financial assistance to individuals and families so that YMCA programs are accessible to every person in our community. Lives are impacted every day through YMCA community outreach, thanks to the generosity of the United Way of Southeast Mississippi, our members, donors to our annual fund-drive known as Partners With Youth and other fund raising activities.

This website contains information that will better help you understand who we are, what our policies are, and what your membership can do for you. It is designed to answer your questions and to encourage you to take advantage of all that membership offers. If you have further questions, our staff is here to help. Please do not hesitate to call upon one of us for additional needs.
