Our History
The Young Men's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution, roughly 1750 - 1850. Growth of the railroads and centralization of commerce and industry brough many rural young men who needed jobs into cities like London.
