We’re More Than a Gym. At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors

to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn,

grow and thrive.

The YMCA of the Sandhills is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded on Christian principles and

dedicated to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. The YMCA of the Sandhills

has been serving our community since 1922. Our Mission is “To put Christian principles into practice

through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind an body for all.”

AREAS OF FOCUS FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y, millions of youth today are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Improving the nation’s health and well-being. In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, millions of youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.


Giving back and providing support to our neighbors. The Y has been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical social needs for 160 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, or preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. Through the Y, 500,000 volunteers and thousands of donors, leaders and partners across the country are empowering millions of people in the U.S. and around the world to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.

Core Values The YMCA of the Sandhills lives on four Core Values. We incorporate these four core values into

all programs, special events and activities. Those four core values are: HONESTY, RESPONSIBILITY, CARING

and RESPECT.

Code of Conduct: YMCA members will always treat staff, equipment and facilities with respect and act in

accordance with the Y’s core values. By signing on as a member of the Y community, those participating in

programs or utilizing YMCA facilities pledge to follow all policies and procedures.

MORE ABOUT THE FACILITY

"The road to recovery for a wounded veteran is paved by family, community and country. That

road starts with us." -CEO Rick Houp.

This facility is so much more than a community Y. The goal of the Saleeby Family YMCA is to

not only be a place for people and families to come together to work out and enjoy a swim in

the pool as they do in our existing YMCA of the Sandhills branches. It will also be a place for

wounded veterans in our community to continue their path to recovery and healing.

The Saleeby Family YMCA has something for all walks of life; a pool for aqua therapy and wa-

ter aerobics, a gym with inclusive and accessible equipment, group exercise classes to con-

nect with others in the community and so much more. We can meet the

wounded veteran exactly where he or she is at on the path to recovery. We are so excited to

bring this unique take on fitness and recovery to our Fort Bragg community. Come see it for

yourself!

MISSION PROJECTS FOR COMMUNITY

ENRICHMENT

The YMCA of the Sandhills is dedicated to fulfilling

our mission through outreach and service, with

many pillar programs on which we build

relationships and growth.

L.I.D.S. LIFEGUARD INSTRUCTION AND

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES L.I.D.S. is a program

offered by the YMCA to combat a growing gang

problem in some our neighborhoods. Through

mentoring and education, the YMCA offers FREE

lifeguard training to youth who live in these

identified communities. The goal is to provide

youth ages 14-19 with a marketable skill and

employment. These youth who complete the

L.I.D.S. program are less likely to join a local gang.

L.I.D.S. is a year-round program supported by

various grants and individual donations.

THE BRIDGE PROGRAM: During the Summer

months, low-income single parents who work or

go to school full time are often unable to afford

quality childcare. For some single parents the

choices are to quit their job, put their studies on

hold, or leave their children home alone. The YMCA

offers a full day childcare service that bridges one

school year to the next. The Bridge Program is

free to single parents whose household income is

less than $25,000. Full time employment or class

attendance is also required. This program is

supported by contributions and scholarships from

individuals and

businesses.

PROJECT RESPONSIBILITY: Fayetteville’s

community has one of the largest concentrations of

wounded veterans in the United States. Many of

these veterans are our neighbors who have made a

great sacrifice to protect all our individual

freedoms. Therefore, the Y has taken on the

responsibility to provide them with wellness

services, specialized equipment, and rehab

opportunities at no cost. To date, the Y serves over

260 combat injured veterans. At the Y we believe

“no man left behind” not only applies on the

battlefield but here at home as well.

EBHI: Evidence-Based Health Initiative provides

fitness and education with eight chronic disease

prevention programs where we seek to engage

diversity, inclusion, and healthy equity. The Y is

developing efforts to enhance the health and

well-being of individuals whose healthy lifestyle

journeys may begin inside or outside the walls of

our facilities.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Y is built upon a foundation of volunteerism and

we recognize that our volunteers hard to help us

accomplish our mission. Volunteers are a valuable

part of our community programs and our Y family.

Join the Y volunteer service with one of our annual

activities or select an on-going program to

volunteer in. Meet new friends, learn new skills,

donate your time and talents to gain personal

reward and foster great relationships. Apply at any

of our 4 branches

today to volunteer!
