The YMCA, or Young Men's Christian Association, is one of the biggest non-profit organizations in the world. "Worldwide, the Y serves more than 45 million people in 119 countries. Ys across the U.S. play an integral role in strengthening the leadership and youth programs of the Y around the world" The YMCA prides themselves in integrating themselves into the community and giving people of all shapes, sizes, color, age, a chance to be active. "The Y is guided by four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility." Not only is it a recreational center for all, it is used to better the youth, provide a place to hang out besides the streets, as well as promote healthy living.
