This year, we celebrate 175 years of national YMCA impact and community building.

Across generations, the Y has helped shape culture and create opportunities for people of all ages—from inventing basketball and volleyball to pioneering fitness programming and launching some of the nation’s earliest summer camp experiences.

The McCormick YMCA is proud to continue that legacy by fostering connection, belonging, and opportunity throughout our community.
