| Mission Statement |
| "The Great Plains Family YMCA is an association of persons of all
ages, ethnic groups and religious affiliations. We are united in a common effort to put
Christian principles and values into practice and to enrich the quality of life through
programs that develop the spiritual, mental and physical potential of the Great Plains
communities." No Child is refused membership or program participation due to economic hardship. |
| A Brief History |
| In 1986, the citizens of this area made a decision to establish a Young
Men's Christian Association and this was done by incorporating under the laws of the State
of Oklahoma as the Great Plains Family YMCA, Inc. We are also recognized by the federal
government as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The articles of incorporation place responsibility for management of the YMCA in a board of directors which is elected from its membership. The members essentially own the property and determine the policies of the YMCA. We are affiliated with the National Council of YMCA's of the USA. In 1987 the Board of Directors made the decision to purchase an existing facility to house the YMCA. The purchase price was $555,000 which included the facility and inventory located at 1400 Airport Road. |
