Who we are
Our Mission Statement
Our objective as American Turners of New York is the maintenance of a Turner Society and the furtherance of Turnerism.
By Turnerism, we understand the system of physical, moral and mental education and development originated by Friederich Ludwig Jahn in Germany in 1813 and introduced in America in 1848 which from there was further developed.
The membership is bound by the general principles of the American Turner Movement, especially the precepts of liberty, tolerance and democracy. As a Turner society, it seeks to offer its members and their families all the physical, cultural and social benefits traditional to Turnerism.
- To maintain principles of American Turner Movement
- To be bound by liberty, tolerance and democracy
- To offer members and their families traditional benefits of Turnerism
We seek to offer our members all the benefits of traditional Turnerism.
