WELCOME TO THE HANOVER AREA YMCA
OUR MISSION: To put Christian principles into practice through programs
that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
At the Hanover Area YMCA, strengthening community through youth development, healthy living, and social
responsibility are our cause and vision. As a movement, the Y is the largest childcare provider in the nation.
We provide a wide range of fitness classes and sports activities. In many places, the Y is known as a place to go
swimming or exercise, but it is much more than that- it’s a place that changes lives. Our open doors philosophy
welcomes all those who wish to enter and we provide need based financial assistance to community members in the
great Hanover area.
COMMITMENT TO ALL
The Y is made up of people from all backgrounds working together to strengthen their communities.
Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, disability, ethnicity, faith,
gender, gender identity, ideology, immigrant status, income, race, sex, or sexual orientation has the opportunity to
reach their full potential.
We share the Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility - they guide everything we do.
The Y is Committed to providing programs and services that are inclusive and welcoming to all. We value an environment
that fosters dignity, respect, fairness, and appreciation for all aspects and dimensions of diversity.
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
BECOME AN IMPACT MEMBER
ENDOWMENT FUND
The Annual Campaign provides an
extraordinary opportunity to ensure a
brighter future for our community. Your
gift to the Hanover Area YMCA will have
lasting impact in the community by helping
us to reach more people through lifechanging programs and services like:
• Before and After School Childcare
• Early Learning Centers
• Summer Camp
• Swim Lessons
• Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery
• Youth Sports
• And many more programs
The Annual Campaign is volunteer led and
staff supported. Ask any staff member how
you can get involved.
Y Impact Members contribute a monthly,
recurring tax-deductible donation of
$25. That $25 a month helps assure the
continuation of vitally important Y work,
including chronic disease prevention,
mentoring youth, and financial assistance
for hundreds of low-income families
who need us to keep their kids positively
engaged in supportive and safe Y
programs.
The Heritage Club and Legacy Society
encourages thoughtful gifts from donors
as a primary means of building a strong
endowment capable of providing financial
support for the Hanover Area YMCA in
perpetuity. Individuals who have made
a meaningful gift or pledge of at least
$10,000 to the YMCA Endowment Fund
are recognized for their generosity
through membership in the Heritage Club.
Individuals who indicate that they have left
a gift to the Y in their wills are recognized
as members of the Legacy Society.
