Volunteer founded and volunteer led, the YMCA was established in London, England, in 1844 by George Williams, a draper’s shop assistant, to give young men an alternative to life on the streets.

 In 1851, Thomas Sullivan, a retired sea captain and lay missionary started the first U.S. YMCA in Boston.  The Springfield Family YMCA was started in 1854 by Colonel Edward Marcus Doty making the Springfield Family YMCA one of the oldest YMCAs in the U.S.

 The Springfield Family YMCA has existed in several locations but moved to its current location in the late 1980s.  The 300 South Limestone Street address has seen many local additions as well as an expansion in the late 1990s.
 In 2005, the Springfield Family YMCA had over 14,005 facility and program members.  Facility members (10,769 members) have access to reduced program fees and all YMCA facilities excluding the toddler & pre-school program.  Program members participate in YMCA programs only (3,326 members).  There are just as many female members as male members at the local YMCA and nationwide.  Through the YMCA’s annual support campaign and the local United Way, the YMCA offered scholarships to over 475 individuals and families each year for membership and programming.

 The Springfield Family YMCA offers a wide variety of programming including swim lessons, childcare, health & fitness, sports, day camp, and youth programs.  There are classes no matter what your interest.
