History
Collectively, the Y is the largest not-for-profit community service organization in America. We have a strong history, and have played a significant role in the development of this country.
The Y invented basketball, volleyball and racquetball, along with pioneering camping, physical fitness and swim lessons.
The Y helped found the USO, Boy Scouts of America and Camp Fire Girls.
Y volunteers have provided support and service to millions of soldiers and continues to do so today.
The Y continues to forge ahead! On July 12, 2010, the Y unveiled a new branding initiative. We want to tell our story!
Locally the Y in Hot springs is writing a story relevant to our community.
