About Madison Area YMCA School of Performing Arts

The Madison Area YMCA staff and volunteers work in an ongoing partnership to build a healthier, stronger community for children and adults of all ages.

Through our philanthropic, early childhood education, wellness and youth development programs, we build community and work to assure that Y programs and services are available to everyone regardless of their economic circumstances.

We operate with three core priorities:

Youth Development, providing care and education for infants and preschoolers;  and development for school-age children and teens through sports, athletics and leadership programs.
Healthy Living, providing classes and programs to promote health and overall wellbeing.
Social Responsibility, engaging the community in activities such as child protection education and philanthropic fundraising to assure broad access to Y programs and services.
As a non-profit charity, the Y operates with a volunteer Board of Directors that, with the president & CEO, provides overall leadership and carries the fiduciary responsibility of the organization.
