In 1853, the YMCA of Greater Louisville was founded and chartered as a membership organization. The 10th YMCA in the United States, today we have ten convenient branch locations and two extensions throughout the Greater Louisville area. We are also the largest provider of before- and after-school care in the state, celebrate the most extensive Black Achiever's Program in the country and are the proud founder of Safe Place Services, serving as the national headquarters of this outstanding organization.

As a non-profit organization, our involvement in the community is our measure of success. We are proud to have been selected to serve as a YMCA Activate America - Pioneering Healthier Communities association. We are committed to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities and emphasize the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
