OUR MISSION
The Bear-Glasgow Family YMCA is an association of people of all ages, ethnic groups and religious affiliations that strives to cultivate the human potential, self-esteem, and dignity of all people. Our organization exists to develop and practice the Christian principles of love, caring, inclusiveness, justice and peace...and to enrich the emotional, physical and social life of all individuals, families and our community.


OUR HISTORY
The Bear-Glasgow Family YMCA began in March 1996 at a storefront in Peoples Plaza. Our first programs were Summer Day Camp sessions for approximately 20 to 30 campers per week held at Lums Pond State Park. Our second step was to hire a Childcare Program Director who started After School Care at Commodore McDonough School. From there, we have grown to ten Before & After School care sites in three school districts (Christina, Appoquinimink and Colonial).

In 1996, we launched a Teen Leaders program. Their first community service project, preparing Thanksgiving Baskets for needy families, is still going strong and now serves 25 families. The teens continue to benefit the community with various other service projects throughout the year.

Youth Sports began with outdoor soccer in the spring of 1997. Our sports have now expanded to Flag Football, T-Ball, Indoor Soccer, Basketball, Instructional Basketball and Cheerleading.

With our focus on serving this growing community, we plan to become the "center of town" with a gym, Fitness/Wellness Center, pools, child care space, with programs for all ages including aerobics and sports. We will maintain our presence in the community by continuing to use local fields and gyms to reach the public with our programs even after our building is up and running.

Our values-based organization serves members by offering programs designed to strengthen the family, help children attain their full potential and build a strong community.
