As Board members, we:
* ensure the branch's programs align with the YMCA's mission
* help secure adequate financial resources
* protect the organization's assets through financial oversight, and
* enhance its public standing by promoting the branch's goals and services.
Initially formed in 1959, the Tuckahoe Family YMCA began its service without a building. It wasn't until 1975 that a building was opened. Located on Patterson Ave, just west of Parham Road, the Tuckahoe Family YMCA is one of the largest and longest-serving YMCAs in Richmond, VA. The Tuckahoe Family YMCA has been serving the west end (of Richmond/Henrico, VA) for over 40 years.
The mission of the YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
The Y's MISSION is reflected by the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. These values inspire and compel us to ensure everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and be their authentic selves in all aspects of diversity including ability, age, cultural background, economic status, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, language, national origin, political view, race or sexual orientation.
Together, we celebrate strong inclusive communities. FOR ALL.
The goal of the Y is to create an environment in which members, staff and other stakeholders experience an organization rich with multicultural inclusivity, the promotion of equity across all walks of life and a genuine sense of belonging FOR ALL, with intentional focus on underrepresented and historically marginalized communities. -
