Did You Know?

The Young Men's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution (roughly 1750 to 1850).

The YMCA proved popular everywhere, and in 1853, the first YMCA for African Americans was founded in Washington, D.C., by Anthony Bowen, a freed slave.

The next year the first international convention was held in Paris. At the time there were 397 separate YMCA’s in seven nations, with 30,369 members total.
