Inclusion Statement
The YMCA at Pabst Farms believes that all people have the right to take an active role in the YMCA community through participation and/or contribution.
We will try to accomplish this by developing universally designed activities and opportunities. We believe people with varying abilities share a common healthy spirit. We are confident that our YMCA can positively impact the "Building of Strong Kids, Strong Families, and Strong Communities," through a commitment to both the value and practice of diversity. We recognize that inclusion is a process that will grow, develop, and become more effective through the efforts of staff, volunteers, membership, and the greater community.
Members and program participants who come to the YMCA with varying abilities are encouraged to contact the Inclusion Specialist to help identify opportunities that can be offered. It is the intent of the YMCA at Pabst Farms to include people of varying abilities to the extent that appropriate service and care can be provided.
