Happy YMCA Founder’s Day! 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.
Today, the Y is still where people find connection, purpose, and the chance to become their best selves.
From 1844 to 2026 (and beyond) there’s no place like this place. We’re a family. A support system. A force for good.
