YMCA
The YMCA of the Cedar Rapids Metropolitan Area develops programming
that includes the teaching of the YMCA Character Development values
of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, AND RESPONSIBILITY. YMCA Character Development
is about making decisions based on the four YMCA values. We make many
decisions at the YMCA every day. These decisions are made by our Board
of Directors, management, supervisors, parents, and kids. We work to
assist all groups involved with the YMCA in learning the importance
and meaning of these basic values and challenge them to accept and demonstrate
those positive values. |
