YMCA of South Alabama Facts

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is the state or quality of being different, and as individuals we are all uniquely different. Inclusion embraces diversity but moves beyond it. To be inclusive is to respect and value differences. The YMCA of South Alabama is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion, an important part of our mission-based programs and services.

We know that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of children, improving a person's health and well-being, and supporting our neighbors is an experienced and diverse array of staff, volunteers and members who value what everyone brings to the table. The YMCA is made up of people of all ages and from all walks of life working side by side to ensure everyone can live life to its fullest.

We recognize the importance of ensuring that our workforce reflects the diversity of our community. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and organization’s achievement as well.
