YMCA
alternative label: Young Men's Christian Association
definition: As an organization that views development as the integration of spirit, mind, and body over the life course, a progressive exposure to skills development is at the heart of the YMCA's program philosophy. You learn to walk before you run and to respect and relate to peers as equals before you assume leadership roles, in life and in organizations.
