The organization was founded in1844 over in England it was
started by a bunch of English men who wanted to provide a place for the over
worked people in the light of the industrial revolution that was taking place
they wanted to provide a place of comfort and a place you could sleep. They
would do preaching and ministry on the streets of England as well this was the
beginnings of the (Young Men’s Christian Association). Wanted to provide a
Christian environment for people to go. The mission is to put the Christian
principles into action healthily spirit mind and body and they try to build
that through the community that they build. They teach children to swim, teach kids
to play soccer, basketball, they have aquatic lessons and aerobics for adults,
they have groups that help for grieving purposes (such as grief counseling),
offer different things each holiday (breakfast with Santa), they have weight
room facilities as well as cardio.
They help people by bringing the community together and helping
anyone who isn’t able to afford the YMCA, they also helps young people learn
how to swim, they emphasis putting the Christian elements into everything that
they do.
The YMCA is a non-profit organization who rely on donations
and grants from around the community. For instance their building is built on
the folder brothers who donated the land to them. Companies and other
organizations they donate to put their company on a banner. The Y C.A.R.E in
the program that help families who can’t afford to help send their children to
the camps or the YMCA. Members also donate through a campaign that is run
throughout the year and in November they have a push. And staff also gives
through volunteers.
When looking for a person to hire they want someone who is
friendly and believes in their mission, someone who is willing to help put that
mission out their in the community.
