About Y Community Week
On May 28, 1852, a group of 300 New Yorkers gathered together at Mercer Street Presbyterian Church in Greenwich Village and made a commitment to form the first YMCA in New York City. In the 171 years since that day, the YMCA of Greater New York has thrived, becoming New York City’s leading nonprofit community service and wellness organization, serving nearly 250,000 New Yorkers annually throughout the five boroughs.
We invite you to celebrate this important milestone with us during the Y’s Third Annual Community Week. Join the festivities at your local Y branch, and follow us on social media for inspiring Y stories all week long. Let’s take this week to honor the incredible work that our Y Community has done to uplift one another, while looking towards the future with excitement.
