OUR HISTORY
The YMCA of Greenwich has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916 as a gift from Mrs. Nathaniel Witherell. When the YMCA first opened, it offered short-term housing that was seen as a more wholesome alternative to the seedier boarding houses of the time. Over the past century, it has evolved from a small community organization into a cornerstone of the Greenwich community, dedicated to promoting healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility.
