 YMCA Mission
Together, the nation’s more than 2,400 YMCAs are the
largest not-for-profit community service organizations
in America, working to meet the health and social
service needs of 17.9 million men, women and children in
10,000 communities in the USA. Ys are for people of all
faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. No one is
turned away for inability to pay. YMCAs’ strength is in
the people they bring together.
 YMCAs stretch beyond the
United States. YMCAs are at work in more than 120
countries around the world, serving more than 30 million
people. About 230 U.S. YMCAs maintain relationships with
Ys in other countries. So the YMCA really does build
strong kids, strong families and strong
communities—worldwide.

YMCA History
 The YMCA was founded in London, England, in 1844 by
George Williams and about a dozen friends who lived and
worked as clerks in a drapery—a forerunner of dry goods
and department stores. Their goal was to help young men
like themselves find God. The first members were
evangelical Protestants who prayed and studied the Bible
as an alternative to vice. The Y has always been
nonsectarian and today accepts those of all faiths at
all levels of the organization, despite its unchanging
name, the Young Men's Christian Association.
The first U.S. YMCA
started in Boston in 1851, the work of Thomas Sullivan,
a retired sea captain who was a lay missionary. Ys
spread fast and soon were serving boys and older men as
well as young men. Although 5,145 women worked in YMCA
military canteens in World War I, it wasn't until after
World
 War II that women and girls were admitted to full
membership and participation in the U.S. YMCAs. Today
half of all YMCA constituents and staff members are
female. And half of the Y's constituents are 18 or
under.
Two major sports,
basketball and volleyball, were born at the YMCA. Ys
celebrated the centennial of basketball in 1991 and the
centennial of volleyball in 1995. A YMCA instructor
created the first mass swimming lessons, using the
Australian crawl, and the Y was the first to establish
certification programs for lifesaving, swimming and
aquatic instruction.
 The Y also pioneered and
greatly expanded ideas of summer camping (the oldest
continually operating residential camp in America is
YMCA Camp Dudley in New York state), night school,
vocational counseling, adult education, college student
services and junior college. YMCA World Service workers,
who began their work in the late 1880s, were forerunners
of Peace Corps volunteers. The YMCA assisted in the
formation of other major voluntary groups such as the
Boy Scouts, Camp Fire and the USO.
