Events, conferences, offers and all kinds of goings-on will be posted here in this community. We seek to provide a platform for life-long learning. While there are many incredible benefits from the recent boom in social technology, most would agree relationships have suffered. We aspire to become the place where one can recapture the joy of interpersonal relationships in the wonder of God’s creation. Our goal is to equip people of all ages not only for success in a global society, but for a well-balanced life in spirit, mind and body. When Dr. Weatherford founded YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly, he did so based on five guiding principles that we still follow:

* Serving others and honoring the dignity of labor are the highest forms of leadership.
* Personal responsibility for one’s development and behavior is central to achieving our God given potential.
* Faith is the foundation to living a values-based life.
* All people are created in the image of God and are worthy of love and respect.
* We believe that to be in relationship with others, it is important to be in relationship with our Creator and there is no better place to be in communion with Him than in the beauty of his Creation. These principles are incorporated into our cause and plans for the future; they provide a strong foundation for growth and a value system from which to take our next steps. OUR CAUSE DEFINES US

YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly has a century-long tradition of impacting lives, serving youth and shaping tomorrow's leaders. We are proud of our Christian heritage and strive every day to fulfill the cause of the Y in strengthening youth, families, and communities. OUR VALUES

At the Y, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential and live their best lives. The YMCA’s core values serve as our guide, helping those we serve to be more healthy, confident, connected, and secure. CARING - HONESTY - RESPECT - RESPONSIBILITY - FAITH

OUR FOCUS

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
HEALTHY LIVING: Improving the health and well-being of those in our community
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Giving back and providing support for our neighbors

Sometimes moments stick with us long after they pass.

Recently, we spoke with Chris. He's an adult volunteer with a conference, often seen playing guitar in the Amphitheater, leading small groups and laughing with friends- old and new.

Take a moment to hear about a moment that stuck with Chris long after leaving the Mountain.

We know that teens, like the one in this story, need special places like YMCA Blue Ridge. Please help us reach our $100,000 year-end goal ensuring access and fueling life-changing programs which empower the next generation of leaders and change-makers to thrive.
