YMCA Activate America is the YMCA’s bold approach to directly address our nation’s growing health crisis.  Our mission compels us to transform the way we work, both internally and externally, to support all health seekers and communities in their pursuit of well-being in spirit, mind and body.

YMCA Activate America is at the core of our mission as an organization and at the heart of what drives us as individuals to help all those who seek well-being in spirit, mind and body.

America is in a health crisis so severe that for the first time in memory, this generation of children could face a lower life expectancy than their parents.
 
Our society has the power to influence the most critical factors in this crisis – physical inactivity and unhealthy eating.
 
The YMCA of Southern Indiana has made the commitment to do our part by proactively addressing the health crisis in our community.  We are reaching out to health seeking children, youth, teens, adults and families by providing programs and support in developing a healthy lifestyle.
