History The Seeley-Swan YMCA began in 1997 with a group of dedicated Seeley-Swan volunteers. They believed that involvement in healthy activities and events will create an environment which promotes the well-being of everyone, regardless of age, income or ability. The Seeley-Swan YMCA, with the assistance of the Missoula Family YMCA, continues with its mission to provide programs and services which promote a healthy spirit, mind, and body for everyone.
Mission Since its start 150 years ago, the YMCA of the USA has been helping to develop a core set of values for all YMCAs to follow:
Caring
Responsibility
Honesty
Respect The Seeley-Swan YMCA is committed to incorporating these values into our programs. Through the efforts of our dedicated staff and volunteers, we hope to make a positive difference in the lives of the people we serve.
Most importantly, we believe these values are the key to helping to solve many of the social and economic problems our community faces today.
It is through building partnerships with local schools, businesses, and organizations, that the YMCA is able to serve our community. They help to develop a set of positive values, morals, and ethics. It is our belief that these are the building blocks that make a strong individual, a strong family, and ultimately a strong community. (Back to top)
