182 years ago, a small group of young people in London sparked an idea that would grow into a global movement - a place for belonging, wellness, and community for all. Seven years later, the Y movement made its way to America (hence our Y175 anniversary campaign this year!)
The Y is still where people find connection, purpose, and the chance to become their best selves. From 1844 to today, there’s no place like this place. We’re a family. A support system. A force for good.
