A LESSON IN THE YMCA CORE VALUES

The YMCA adopted the 4 characters of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.  By reinforcing good character values, the YMCA is shaping, instilling and reinforcing Christian values that schools, churches, corporations and communities can build on.

Caring: to demonstrate a sincere concern for others, for their need and well-being.  Related values: compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and kindness.

Honesty: to tell the truth, to demonstrate reliability and trustworthiness through actions that  are in keeping with my stated position and beliefs  Related values: integrity and fairness.

Respect: to treat others as I would want them to treat me, to value the worth of every person, including myself.  Related values:  acceptance, empathy, self-respect and tolerance.

Responsibility: to do what is right--what I ought to do, to be accountable for my choices of behavior and action and my promises.  Related values: commitment, courage, good health, service and citizenship.
