At the heart of this promise is our commitment to Character Development and the YMCA’s core values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY. We challenge ourselves to not only provide the best quality programs and services to you, but to demonstrate these positive values in our actions. Good character demonstrated by our staff, members, volunteers, kids, and families make us a better organization and makes our community stronger.

The YMCA of Portsmouth is a non-profit, charitable organization that offers programs and memberships to all people regardless of race, sex, religion, or ability to pay. We regularly offer financial assistance to anyone in need so that all may participate in our programs. We welcome use of our facility to all visiting YMCA card holders for a nominal fee and invite you to tour our facility and receive additional information on schedules and financial assistance programs.

Whether you are just starting to get back into shape, in need of quality programs for your child, or want to be part of an organization that shares your values, the YMCA is the community leader for healthy body, mind, and spirit.
