BUILDING A BETTER US

Since 2019, the New River YMCA has been invested in strengthening our communities. We do so by promoting youth development, supporting wellness, and aiding neighbors in need. Guided by our values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, we ensure that every action aligns with our principles.

Within our association, you’ll find a range of amenities: a health and wellness center, aquatic facility, Preschool & Early Learning Child Care Center, and diverse programs. Moreover, we take pride in our leadership role, catering to the childcare needs of families across multiple elementary schools in Onslow County through our before and after school programs.

OUR MISSION

The YMCA’s Mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

At the New River YMCA, our mission compels us to embrace, reflect, and celebrate the richness of diversity within each other and the many communities we serve. In that Christian principles are caring and inclusive, we are respectful of various expressions of faith and serve families and individuals from all traditions, backgrounds, and perspectives. Together, we work to ensure that everyone, has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity at our YMCA.

OUR STORY

On October 24, 2019, the New River YMCA opened its doors for the first time, thanks to the vision and hard work of a small group of volunteers. Since then, we have been serving and embracing the unique fabric of the community with dedication and passion. The Y remains committed to planning and delivering an even larger positive impact for the Onslow community, inspiring us to continue making a difference every day.
