Gateway Region YMCA
Mission
To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
The Gateway Region YMCA was founded on October 13, 1853, at the 2nd Baptist Church by 23 young men. Since then, the Y has been one of the leading health and human service organizations in the bi-state region. Today’s Y programs serve youth and teens, families, adults, seniors and communities throughout the Greater St. Louis and Southwest Illinois area.
