The YMCA of Brisbane is guided to achieve their mission by the following Christian values

• The dignity and intrinsic worth of all people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or belief
• The whole person, consisting of a body, a mind, and a spirit each of which is of equal importance
• Healthy communities based on relationships between people which are characterised by love, understanding, mutual respect and a sense of belonging
• Equality of opportunity and justice for all people
• The diversity of people, communities and nations
• Acceptance of personal responsibility

These core values translate into four key operational values:

Honesty – Respect – Caring – Responsibility
