Book Description
In 1852, a group of young men met in the neighborhood now known as SoHo and formed an association to help newcomers adapt to the bustling metropolis of New York. They formed the Young Men's Christian Association of New York. A year later, another YMCA took root across the East River in the sister city of Brooklyn. In 150 years, the YMCA has grown from its initial evangelical orientation to serve New Yorkers of all faiths, races, and classes, men and women alike. Today, in its many branches and in many more programs in neighborhoods and schools, the YMCA offers everything from health and educational courses to employment programs, child care, and residential accommodations in all corners of the city. This richly illustrated book is not only the definitive history of New York's YMCA. It is also a larger story of social change and organizational response to waves of immigrants, to war and depression, to struggles for opportunity and for racial, gender, and civil rights. From the eve of the Civil War to the aftermath September 11, 2002, the YMCA has been an essential part of the city's fabric. This book is the record of that achievement.

Book Description
Excerpt from Celebrating 150 Years, the YMCA of Greater Boston, 1851-2001 From its humble origins as an evangelical association dedicated to improving the spiritual and mental condition of young men, to its current, secular mission of improving the quality of life for all, the YMCA has been firmly grounded in the core values that have guided and sustained its staff and volunteer leadership through the years. The Y's genius has been to anticipate and respond to the major societal issues of each era. In meeting the challenges of each passing decade, the YMCA has always upheld its mission of building health of spirit, mind, and body for all. Celebrating our illustrious history as prologue, we look forward to a bright future! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
