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 kids, adults, families and communities in their pursuit of well-being in spirit, mind and body. In addressing America's unprecedented health crisis, the YMCA is best equipped to influence change in individuals and in our communities to proactively address this health crisis, which is central to the achievement of our mission.
 

In some ways, Activate America® is a reflection back to our earliest years in defining individual health as the union of spirit, mind and body. And it builds on the significant role we played in defining health and well-being starting in the 1960s.

In order to reflect the bold vision reflected in Activate America®, we will support healthy lifestyles by reaching out and engaging all those who seek well-being of spirit, mind and body. We also will create and sustain healthier communities by actively participating in our communities and connecting our networks and resources to influence decisions that impact health.
