Mission:
YMCA of Singapore is a volunteer-based Christian organisation that seeks to serve and impact all members of the community, regardless of race, language or religion, through programmes, services and enterprises to develop the body, mind and spirit.
Vision:
The continuing basis of the work and witness of the Young Men's Christian Association is expressed in the PARIS BASIS, as adopted by the delegates of the First World Conference in Paris in 1855 and reaffirmed by the 6th World Council of YMCAs in 1973:
The Young Men's Christian Associations seek to unite those young men who, regarding Jesus Christ as their God and Saviour, according to the Holy Scriptures, desire to be his disciples in their faith and in their life, and to associate their efforts for the extension of his Kingdom amongst young men.
Any differences of opinion on other subjects, however important in themselves, shall not interfere with the harmonious relations of the constituent members and associates of the World Alliance.
Core Values:
Compassion
To recognise the needs of others especially the last, the lost and the least, then take action to help
Servant leadership
