HISTORY

In 1853, the YMCA of Greater Louisville was founded and chartered as a membership organization. The 10th YMCA in the United States, today we have ten convenient branch locations and two extensions throughout the Greater Louisville area. We are also the largest provider of before- and after-school care in the state, celebrate the most extensive Black Achiever's Program in the country and are the proud founder of Safe Place Services, serving as the national headquarters of this outstanding organization.

As a non-profit organization, our involvement in the community is our measure of success. We are proud to have been selected to serve as a YMCA Activate America - Pioneering Healthier Communities association. We are committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities and emphasize the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Y-USA AMONG NATION'S TOP CHARITIES

The American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP), which helps donors make informed giving decisions, has awarded YMCA of the USA an `A' in its most recent ratings. AIP gave the Armed Services YMCA an `A-' grade. Y-USA is one of only two national human services charities to receive an A grade or better. The Armed Services YMCA is one of just four veterans and military charities to receive an A- grade or better. AIP bases its grades on two factors: 1) how much it costs an organization to raise 0 in public contributions and 2) the percentage of an organization's total expenses spent on services.

MISSION

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

PROMISE

No one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.
